Coney Island is a fascinating place from an American History point of view. One of the most historic and eyebrow-raising components is the Freak Show.
Since waaaaay back in 1880 and over the years one could see Lionel the Lion-faced Man, Violetta the Limbless Woman and The Four-legged Woman which, oddly enough, was Phil's nickname when he played soccer in 8th grade.
