Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Baily on... CONEY ISLAND?

[Spiffy]

Saw a commercial for it tonight. What an interesting approach to a bad economy. Boardwalk-side performances with an $11 ticket price.

Here's are some videos people have taken of the show:

No other Circus lovers, eh?

I was alternately terrified of, but also fascinated by, the Circus as a kid.

Didn't really hate clowns until I was an adult though.

I grew up, literally, one stop on the subway away from Coney Island (I lived in Gravesend, a neighborhood nestled between Bensonhurst and Coney Island) and the moment I move to a more distant section of Brooklyn, they decide Coney Island is worth sprucing up.

Sheesh!

I always loved the circus as a kid, and I think it's cool that they are doing performances on the Coney Island Boardwalk, I just can't enjoy it like I used to. I feel bad for the animals.

I would say I'm a circus lover. seeing as how I'm also a Ringling I think it's a requirement
