I have lived on Staten Island since I was 5 years old. I am now 40 with a son of my own. And I remember as a child every time we wanted to do something in the summer we traveled off the island and into New Jersey. Why? They have boardwalks with games concession stands rids for the kids. Well now where do you think I take my son? Yes New Jersey. Keansberg which is great when their younger and still good while he's a little older. Great Adventure which has the rides he likes now. If I go to the beach its always New Jersey as well. Point Pleasant, Seaside, and sometimes Belmar. Why? They are clean and have concession stands games and rides for the kids. Maybe not Belmar so much but thats where I go when I don't want to spend money. My real gripe is, I love Staten Island why cant we build something like Keansberg here on South Beach and midland Beach boardwalk. We have the room. What do you think? Maria
I think it's a great idea too. I thought about this also way back in the 70's. They made some improvement now but not enough. Rides and stuff would be terrific. Wonder if they will even do it now with all the financial cuts etc. From Josie
