"Coney Island's Final Farewell: Nostalgia, Protests, and Love Amidst Uncertainty"

Coney Island in Anderson Township, Ohio, closed its doors for the last time, with visitors sharing generations of memories on its final day. The park, known for its annual holiday lights show and the historic Sunlite Pool, is set to be transformed into a music venue by new owners. Community members expressed sadness over the loss, reminiscing about family moments and hoping for the preservation of the pool and original architecture. An online petition to save Sunlite Pool has garnered 22,000 signatures, and efforts by the Cincinnati Preservation Association to secure a historic landmark designation are ongoing.

"Sally Snowman: The Final Guardian of Boston Light Retires After Two Decades"

Sally Snowman, the last Coast Guard lighthouse keeper in the U.S., has retired after 20 years of service at Boston Light, a historic lighthouse on Little Brewster Island. At 72, Snowman has the distinction of being the first woman to hold the position in the lighthouse's 300-year history. Boston Light, which has been guiding sailors since 1716, became automated in 1989 but remained staffed due to a law passed by the U.S. Senate. Snowman, who married at the lighthouse and co-authored a book about it, plans to continue her involvement as a tour guide and historian. The lighthouse will be transferred to an organization or charity to maintain its legacy.
