Did Freud Like Coney Island? Did Coney Island Like Freud?

“In September 1909, during his only trip to America, Sigmund Freud visited Coney Island” and “probably found it a little seedy.” {He did call America a “great mistake.”) Was the feeling mutual? Now an exhibition at the Coney Island Museum, “[c]reated by the media artist Zoe Beloff, … fills a room with drawings, photographs, artifacts and short films purportedly made by members of a previously unknown group of vocational Freudians founded, Ms. Beloff said, by a man named Albert Grass in the 1920s.”
