One of the perqs of following some of our local elected officials on Twitter is occasionally one of them will share something that is really cool and — even better — is not politics-related.

That’s what social media-savvy [City Councilman Domenic Recchia](https://twitter.com/DomenicRecchia?ref=bklyner.com), whose 47th Council District encompasses Coney Island, did, when he re-tweeted a link to [The Atlantic Cities](https://twitter.com/AtlanticCities?ref=bklyner.com)’ Twitter account with [this teaser](https://twitter.com/AtlanticCities/status/226179631726854146?ref=bklyner.com): “What Manhattan might look like of \[sic\] Coney Island takes over NYC.”

Following the link will take you to [a masterwork of tilt shift and time lapse videography](http://www.theatlanticcities.com/arts-and-lifestyle/2012/07/what-if-coney-islands-rides-took-over-manhattan/2646/?ref=bklyner.com) that lends itself beautifully to the already phantasmagoric realm that is Coney Island, by Argentinian director Fernando Livschitz and his company, [Black Sheep Films](http://www.bsfilms.com.ar/Bsfilms/Black%5FSheep%5FFilms%5F-%5FFernando%5FLivschitz.html?ref=bklyner.com).

While this is Livschitz’s third video featuring “amusement rides on the loose in the big city,” I couldn’t shake the feeling that, somehow, somewhere, I had [seen all this before](http://youtu.be/OdXCcQZB06s?ref=bklyner.com).
