So there are some Coney Island residents who are extremely unhappy that the Broadwalk Community Garden got razed over the weekend to make way for an extreme makeover of the decrepit Childs Restaurant building into an amphitheater and eatery. So unhappy, in fact, that a group has vowed to take the city to court over it. In a bid to win approval for the amphitheater (which they got), backers promised to replace the parkland, but that's not enough for these folks. Said one cranky neighbor: "Like bandits, government officials sent people to destroy our gardens." [NY1; previously]
