	Winter Boardwalk Paul's Daughter 1001 Riegelmann Boardwalk West Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York 11224 The iconic Coney Island Boardwalk concession Paul's Daughter, formerly known as Gregory & Paul's, GREGORY & PAUL 1962 and 1970 and in the same family hands since 1962, was forced to close last fall when the boardwalk's new landlord, the Italy-based Zamperla USA, rejected their business plans. You can read the heartbreaking story here. Here's the building today, scrubbed free of all its once-wonderful character, save the familiar figures on the roof holding aloft a burger and a brew. (You can see the business in its glory days in the picture far below.) Now that the Paul's Daughter signage is gone, though, you can see that the building has a mercantile history that went beyond 1962. Among the words in the remaining, overlapping painted signage are "Ball" (maybe "Ballroom"), Prizes," "Variety," "Discount" and "Gallery," as well as some other words I can't make out. Layers of history. SOURCE Paul’s Daughter is one of the oldest spots on the boardwalk. Currently operated by the original owner’s daughter, Tina, they serve up clams on the half shell, lobster rolls, hot dogs, and cold beer. Though recently renovated, it still has the classic signage with signature lettering. Paul’s Daughter owner is Tina Georgoulakos (with his father Paul aka “The Chief”, co-founded the restaurant formerly known as Gregory & Paul’s in 1962) and still supervises its clam bar.

	Based on a film's frames
	Ice Cream Shack based on a frame from the 1993 film "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", an American drama directed by Lasse Hallström and starring Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis, Darlene Cates and Leonardo DiCaprio
	Drugstore “ENDora OF THE LINE drugs” Based on a Frame from the 1993 Lasse Hallström film "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" This long shot of a sign of a local farmacy, "End of the Line" embodies the essence of Endora. The combination of an eye-level angle and the sign being in the center all suggest how the words on the sign are the dominant, and the attention is immediately focused on the words. End of the Line suggests how closely-knitted and confined the habitants of Endora are that they never really go anywhere outside of Endora. Once you are situated in Endora, you kind of never go away because their boundaries are so enclosed within Endora. Based on a Frame from the 1993 Lasse Hallström film "What's Eating Gilbert Grape". "In the second scene of the film we are shown a shot of the Endora drugstore. The sign reads “ENDora OF THE LINE drugs”. The drugstore has murky walls and there are no cars parked outside of it. This vivid picture suggests to the audience that the town of Endora is isolated, and that once you have been there, there is nowhere more isolated you could go. The colours of the drugstore and its surroundings symbolize the emptiness, loneliness, and isolation of the town." “Endora…Endora is where we are. Describing Endora is like dancing to no music. It’s a town where nothing much ever happens…and nothing much ever will.” Endora, Iowa, is fictional but is based by Peter Hedges, the author of the novel, on the town of Hedrick, Iowa. The filming was done in a small town in Texas.
