If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be stuck in traffic while trying to get to the Holland Tunnel and back into Manhattan while the sun is going down.
There you have it…
Hope Causes Traffic
We haven’t been able to put our finger on what it is about this scene that we find so appealing and interesting, but we’re totally drawn to it and love it.
It seemed oddly fitting that the two people left stranded in the right lane of the Henry Hudson Parkway for well over 45 minutes arrived via a ‘Hope Ambulette.’
We couldn’t help but notice that all they could do was ‘hope’ that they would get towed away unscathed.
Mother Nature Wants Death Trap
Thanks to the weather and decomposition, Mackay Place, a one way street in Bay Ridge, has become a two way death trap at the corner of Narrows Avenue.
It’s almost as if Mother Nature wants it to be a death trap!
Bay Ridge Double Parking At Its Best
There are two things that a small, but vocal minority of people that live in and/or who frequent Bay Ridge love to do:
- Double park their cars.
- Complain about receiving tickets for said double parked cars.
They tend to live in a ‘but it’s me’ and ‘I was only double parked for five minutes so it should be okay’ mentality.
It’s due to that small, arrogant and ignorant minority that makes walking, driving and generally living in Bay Ridge to be much more hazardous that other outer-borough neighborhoods.
Take a look at this scene from Friday afternoon along 5th Avenue at 88th Street.
Thank you, automobile drivers who were ‘just there for a few minutes’ to make this photo possible and give the driver of that van trying to squeeze by several minutes of frustration and good use of his horn blowing skills.
