Coney Island Circa 1905

I just swiped this video from Kinetic Carnival. It was too good to pass up for my own blog.
 
My Grandma Clara was a young girl living in Brooklyn around the turn of that century. I inherited her scrapbooks and have loads of images of the family spending time at their summer home in Cape May. This footage reminded me that I have to start scanning those photos!
 
Enjoy.

what fun, lost but not forgotten…although I am a little surprised you would post a video with such risque swimsuits ;). I would have loved to take a spin on the steeplechase like my folks did.
p.s. cape may is still very cool to visit(in a touristy kind of way)
