| | Coney Island Mermaid Parade |
| | The Parade is characterized by participants dressed in hand-made costumes as Mermaids, Neptunes, various sea creatures, the occasional wandering lighthouse, Coney Island post card or amusement ride, as well as antique cars, marching bands, drill teams, and the odd yacht pulled on flatbed. | | | The Mermaid Parade celebrates the sand, the sea, the salt air and the beginning of summer, as well as the history and mythology of Coney Island, Coney Island pride, and artistic self-expression. | | | The Parade is followed by the Mermaid Parade Ball, a post-parade gathering where costumed parade participants can get together with each other and parade spectators to listen to live music, purchase raffle tickets, and watch burlesque and sideshow acts performed by some of New York City's hottest burlesque stars. |

| | Coney Island is seeking video footage of this year's Mermaid Parade- either footage of television broadcasts of the event or footage that you may have shot. | | | The building is one of the oldest remaining clapboard structures in Coney Island but it will be demolished within a week or two. | | | Those of us who care about Coney Island history and potential landmarks need to shed a tear or two today since a truck delivering food to Nathan's Famous hotdogs smashed into the 1920's neon sign on the side of the restaurant and the sign suffered extensive and severe damage. |

| | For the unaffiliated, there are also the Coney Island Mermaid Parade, the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the Ragamuffin Day Parade (the first two rated R). | | | New York was bailed out of one of its fiscal crises by Hoboken resident Hetty Green, the "Witch of Wall Street." The Guinness Book of World Records calls her the world's greatest miser, possibly because she lived in a cold-water flat, sharing her bedroom with her daughter and having her son sleep in the kitchen. | | | In New York, the conversational phrase "You're welcome" is almost invariably spelled "Sure" and pronounced as a variant of either a synonym of farrier or the verb for baking eggs. |

| | The process began in 1999, when Gavin Heck, an artist and occasional software tester from Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, along with a group of friends, created a Topsy float out of chicken wire, plastic pipe and a lot of pink fabric for the annual Mermaid Parade at Coney Island. | | | Zigun began asking the owners of Coney Island's attractions about the availability of permanent outdoor sites (the actual site of Topsy's execution, like Luna Park itself, is now home to high-rise public housing). | | | Topsy was the largest, but hardly the first, animal to be electrocuted by Edison's company in his quest to prove the danger of Westinghouse's current. |
