Dick Zigun to Give 'State of Coney Island' Address Today (Sunday, May 30)

As the New Luna Park opens and thousands jamming the island, Dick Zigun, the "Officially Unelected Mayor of Coney Island," will give his annual overview of the current state of affairs in America's Playground today at 4:30 p.m.

Zigun is expected to highlight the launch of Luna Park, the excitement of the long-anticipated "rebirth" of the amusement area, and the remaining questions about the future of the important historic structures that remain intact in Coney Island's historic district. The proposal for peace talks and new strategies for amusements will be put forth.

The event takes place at the Coney Island Museum, 1208 Surf Avenue between Stillwell and W. 12th Street.
