BROOKLYN WEEKLY, JULY 21, 2019
BOUNCE
designed to be picture perfect
spots for selfi es, according
to Craig.
During the bounce
house’s 10-day stint in
Brooklyn, time slots are
cordoned off for various
age groups: toddlers, little
kids age 4–7; big kids
age 8–14; and adults. Each
age group will have its
own three-hour session;
and those who are simply
young at heart are the
largest growing segment
of the bouncy community.
“We’ve always had
adult sessions, but this
year we’ve got one every
night — and the demand
for it has been crazy,”
said Craig. “We usually
sell about 6,000 to 8,000
tickets, and a lot of that is
adults.”

REMAINS
“I don’t think I’m going
to swim anymore,”
added Ali’s friend, Abdul
Zaina.
But it will take more
than a human corpse to
scare Martino off the
sand. A former Sea Gate
resident, Martino is no
stranger to the ocean’s
disturbing deposits. In
2017, a live shark washed
up on the shoreline,
and two years before, a
whale was found dead
on the sand. Martino
says that she has also
seen a stingray, a turtle,
pufferfish, and no small
amount of garbage floating
around.
“Everything washes
up on the beach,” she
said.
