Maria Argano with Gwen Sooling

Maria and Gwen grew up in Luna Park Houses and recount with great joy and pride what it was like to live in Coney Island during the 70's. Maria tells in extraordinary detail her job selling food at Nathan's. Saying that she was among the first female workers to be hired there, she explains the ins and outs of the job, from joining the union to serving fries and pizza and corn to describing the workplace culture. She loved her job at Nathan's, which is confirmed by her friend Gwen, who tells her story of being in Coney Island during the blackout of 1977.
