BROOKLYN. 2008. Parking lot attendant works the final weekend of AstroLand. After 45 years of defining boardwalk Americana for millions of young New Yorkers, Astroland locked it's gates following the Labor Day weekend of 2008. Although the space previously occupied by Astroland has since been reopened as circus tent size markets offering food and inexpensive goods, the locals here paint a larger picture: the end of an era for New York. Thor Equities, who acquired the amusement park in November 2006 for an undisclosed amount, has [with the help of Mayor Bloomberg] proposed a $1.5 billion renovation and expansion of the amusement area to include boutique hotels, shopping, movies, and an indoor water park. Uncomfortable with the idea of being 'priced-out' of their own neighborhood, many local business owners, residents, and perennial beach-goers offer the notion that what is being dismantled here cannot be rebuilt - at least not with water slides, bellhops, and Champagne.
