On a rented lot in Coney Island, Eddie Miranda proudly operates a carnival contraption called the Zipper. When the property is sold, Eddie becomes the casualty of a power struggle between an opportunistic developer and the City of New York over the future of the famous amusement park. A story about politics, greed, land use and public policy, ZIPPER chronicles a critical period in Coney Island's history and examines the impact of economic development on an American icon. In a market-driven world where growth often trumps preservation, Eddie and his Zipper may be just the beginning of what is lost. 　　译文(2): 在科尼岛的一个出租场地上，埃迪 · 米兰达骄傲地操作着一个叫拉链的狂欢节装置。当房产被出售时，埃迪成为了一个投机开发商和纽约市之间权力斗争的牺牲品，这场斗争的目的是为了争夺这个著名的游乐园的未来。一个关于政治，贪婪，土地使用和公共政策的故事，ZIPPER 记录了科尼岛历史上的一个关键时期，并考察了经济发展对美国偶像的影响。在一个市场驱动的世界里，增长往往胜过保存，埃迪和他的拉链可能只是失去的开始。
