Aaron is 20 years old and has lived in Coney Island all his life. He was born in Coney Island Hospital and lived on Stillwell Avenue, Neptune Avenue and now in Sea Gate. He offers the unique perspective of a young person growing up in Coney Island, who only left a year earlier to go to college. One of his greatest laments is the closing of Phillips Candy Store, which he recalls as the oldest looking place he had ever seen with the best white fudge he had ever tasted. Aaron shares his feelings about Coney's current redevelopment and some fond memories from his childhood.
