Joseph Albanese returns to Coney Island after seventy years to talk about his memories of growing up there. He used to steam at the Washington Baths with his family, eat at Nathan's, and go on all the rides (including the train to get there) for a nickel. He recalls a time when police didn't allow bathing suits on the boardwalk even though bathing suits were very modest.
Joseph Albanese passed away on November 25, 2013 at the age of 91.
