The Brooklyn Beach Shop Shopping Experience

  • Summary

  • Devin and Andy head to the Brooklyn Beach Shop on the Coney Island Boardwalk. How does current Coney Island express its heritage as the People’s Playground? How bad is stealing from beach stores? Does a boardwalk shop need a certain amount of kitsch? Might the parachute drop in fact be an interdimensional portal?
