The place where merriment is king!

The RWC Crew haven't hit up NYC for about a year and a half now, We think a trip is long over due.

One of our favorite places in NY is Coney Island...

Coney Island, "the place where merriment is king!"

Take a trip back in time 50 years and see a million old school New Yorkers beat the heat by hitting the beach.

See Side Shows! Carnies! Freaks! Thrill rides! Includes the original Coney Island Hot Dog, the Bathing Girl Review, and people getting sick on rides.



One of the reasons we love Coney so much is the retro nostalgia that goes with it. The fun fair is still there with it's rickety roller coasters and rides.

Espo (He's got the dopest haircut ever!), one of RWC crews favorite NYC filth merchants has painted a series of signs out at Coney Island. Most of the stuff is at the Coney Island Sideshow and Museum. Next door, the bumper cars signs got hooked up, as well. Check out the steps leading up into the museum if you get the chance, as there are a series of different lettering styles on those.

Up until late last year Espo ran the Dreamland Artist Clubhouse on Surf Ave in Coney.

The Dreamland Artist Clubhouse was a combination social club, salon, and functioning sign shop and served as a nexus for the artists and the community of Coney Island. The front of the shop had a showroom and meeting space, with signs covering the walls floor to ceiling. The back was a sign shop where the artists create their own works and are available for sign commissions. By operating a functioning workspace, ESPO de-mythed the process of making art, returning it to a blue-collar craft that was right at home on Surf Avenue.
