No, we're not writing to
correct the date of the elephant parade again; that's totally on for Monday night. Here is other circus-connected news: The
Brooklyn Paper's sources tell it that the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus
is coming to Coney Island next summer. The expected circus site belongs to Taconic, a developer who has been
working the margins of Coney while Joe Sitt's Thor Equities
buys up all the best-loved parts and
destroys them. If true, this would help to momentarily distract people from the
closure of Astroland and other amusements. You can see we're ambivalent about the whole thing. Clowns scare us unless we're allowed to
shoot them.
