150-foot-wide mural of Coney Island was unveiled Thursday, displaying
images of Coney Island landmarks like the Cyclone and Wonder Wheel.
The
mural is located at the corner of Stillwell and Mermaid avenues and was
funded by the Alliance for Coney Island. The mural was hand-painted on the back
of Gargiulio’s Restaurant and is set to serve as a warm welcome to the
passengers at the Stillwell Avenue subway station.
Danielle
Mastrion, the creator of the mural, told News 12 it took her and her team just
over two months to take the design idea for the mural and turn it into a
reality.
This is just one of
25 murals funded by the Alliance for Coney Island around the neighborhood, and Mastrion hopes this one goes beyond
looking pretty and helps improve business and tourism in the Coney Island
neighborhood.
