Founded in 1914, Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island Hot Dogs is the oldest restaurant in the city. It has been in the same downtown building on Main Street since it opened 99 years ago. Very little has changed at Coney Island in that time. My grandpa used to talk about eating there with his father in the 1930s, and he said that the tables and chairs are the same ones they had back then!

I made this photograph at night, a few minutes before they closed. The old man sitting at the counter was the last customer, and he walked in just as my son and I were leaving after we ate there. His bicycle is chained to the bike rack on the sidewalk.

Purchase Prints
by Christopher Crawford

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.

Credit card payment is handled through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account. When you checkout, you will be taken to Paypal's site. If you have a Paypal account, sign in and approve the payment.

If you do not have a Paypal account, and do not want to sign up for one, there is a link on the Paypal page that says "Don't have a Paypal Account?" Click it to pay without signing up. It will accept your credit card like a normal credit card payment.

Prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print, and if you have ordered a framed print, to frame and mat it.

Thank you for supporting my work.
