Notes
This episode was pieced together from a ton of little fragments but I wanted to steer folks to a couple of resources in particular: this excellent
article from a few years back in the Toronto Star by Katie Daubs, and this
documentary from filmmaker, Amy Nicholson, that primarily uses the Zipper as a way to talk about changes at Coney Island but has some great details from Harold Chance and his sons.
