A July 14 press conference at the recently-renamed Maimonides Park touted the unveiling of a new Coney Island theme song, with politicos at the event promising that Coney Island is back — and it’s “better than Florida!”
While no song was played for members of the press, billionaire businessman John Catsimatides — who seemingly organized the event and whose wife, Margo, threw out the first pitch at the night’s Brooklyn Cyclones game — used the photo op as a means to encourage Brooklynites to vote for one of two choices on the website of his radio station, WABC-AM.
