I’m already dreaming of warm Summer days filled with barbecues and weekend road trips, sandals and outdoor concerts, beer halls and Sunday Brunches, picnics and flowery dresses, and bubbles and fireworks and burlesque and ocean air. I dream about the ocean. I miss its smell in the morning, the sea gulls and frothy white waves, the untouched morning sand, the untouched morning sea. Last summer I avoided the ocean like the plague, avoided that whole part of my life, a past life, a different time. But this summer will be different, I’m looking forward to checking out Coney Island after a year of avoiding it. I’ve heard this season the local businesses are doing some new and amazing things. Coney Island will be alive again.
