Astroland's last stand

The end is approaching for Astroland, which goes dark shortly after Labor Day — all the neon and the rides and the booths rolling out on a tide that will never return.

In its place comes a planned $2 billion Coney Island makeover, a proposal to convert the once-seedy stretch of Brooklyn into a year-round stop with a swanky Vegas-style hotel and glitzy indoor attractions. Albert, who sold the family property to developer Thor Equities last November, remains in intermittent denial about Astroland's impending demise.

Muni-meters to be installed on 13th Avenue

Muni-meters, central parking meters, will soon be installed on 13th Avenue in Boro-Park. Muni-meters are devices where you can purchase parking receipts to display in your windshield in order to be able to park on the street.

What the City gains from the new Muni-meters


  • No more taking over meters with time left on the clock
  • No more feeding the meter
  • No more adding time when the meter maid is approaching (it will take too long to buy another receipt)
  • No more broken meters
  • Tickets are often issued when the driver leaves his car to purchase a receipt at the Muni-meters which can be up to half a block away


What you supposedly gain from this


  • Supposedly there will be more parking space because cars will be able to park closer without having the constrictions of the predetermined metered spots.


In reality there will be less parking space because parking will become a free-for-all with cars taking up more room than thay need, as on every other block in Boro-Park.

Thank you NYC for squeezing every penny out of us!

BEWARE - If your vehicle was registered in Pennsylvania

If your vehicle was registered in Pennsylvania you may have a fake registration sticker. New York City Police are looking for cars with Pennsylvania plates that have a fake registration sticker. Apparently one of the DMV convenience service places in the Yiddishe area in Pennsylvania has been taking people's money and instead of registering their vehicle has been giving them fake registration stickers. New York City Police are set on busting this ring and are arresting anyone that has such a sticker. One such Yingerman was arrested with his wife present while driving his car with the fake sticker. The car was also towed off and impounded.
