To get you in the mood for the 2013 Coney Island Mermaid Parade, let’s set the scene.
A cool breeze on a warm day and 800,000 of your closest friends.
the aroma of Nathan’s hotdogs…
…the sounds from the disco palace of bumper cars…
~the Eldorado Auto Skooter~
(Oh, I know some girls visiting soon that will want to go there!)
Of course every Coney Island Mermaid Parade must have a Miss Coney Island!
And it wouldn’t be a Coney Island Mermaid Parade without vintage cars…
Coming up!

HA! Did someone say the Eldorado Auto Skooter??!! (You know us too well.) What a hoot of a parade. And why not! Mermaids can be so…romantic? Maybe I mean elusive?

I love your header Robin. Keep up the good up. Tell me something why did they call it Mermaid Parade. The reason I ask, its because I saw a documentary about mermaid and it sounds like its real!!!!
