have you ever seen the movie 'big'? I wonder if tom hank's character went to coney island to get his fortune told? does anyone remember? if you'd like to see more of coney island, please visit my long island daily photo tumblr blog . if you'd like to see more reflections or add your own to the mix, please check out james of newtown area photo's wonderful 'weekend reflections' meme. thanks james!
My brother gave me a life-size Zoltar fortune teller very much like the one in Big. The eyes lit up! It was very cool, but it gave my boyfriend the creeps, so he insisted I keep it in the basement. Eventually I donated it to a Children's Theater company. Anyway, I think it was Coney Island where Tom Hanks went....but not sure.
Hilarious! What a great idea - I could just picture a "Psychic Mum" in our very home - can just imagine my late mum's responses "Today Denise you WILL tidy up the bathroom....what will people think?" lol! I am laughing! xxx
You have heard of LI & its many stereotypes? You wonder if they may be true but wish not to risk visiting in the event that they are. Be bold then & visit me daily & I promise I will show you many sides of Long Island that you will be both amazed & inspired by.
