We've fallen down the rabbit hole over at the Library of Congress' Flickr page many times, and now it's time to check in on their expansive video collection again (they just added more recently). This video follows a couple during their trip to Coney Island in 1903. Below is part 1 (here are parts 2 and 3). They note, "the climax shows a bust view of Rube and Mandy eating frankfurters." It's like nothing's changed (except, you know, everything).
Bonus: As Open Culture pointed out, the LOC also added 43 videos "showing the city laying the foundations for their burgeoning metropolis."
