Off to the Mall: Trip 2

I wrote here about my first trip to The Shops at Atlas Park and the trip was almost a year ago. Well I went back and it is fully open and beautiful although it is not as packed as you would expect.

As usually we start with pretty flowers.

Oh they have an Amish Market.

Here it goes and they give free samples.

Mini-golf, looks like a tough course.

They have a Johnny Rockets and yes they will dance for you.

They had a World's Fair in front, not many countries showed.

The mall itself.

The Shops at Atlas Park
8000 Cooper Avenue at 80th Street
Glendale, New York 11385
Admissions: Still free unless shopping then it all you can afford .

Tranist Museum: Part 2

Well this week has been extra special for the NYC subway system. One hour of rain and nothing works. Here are trains that stayed dry over at the transit museum.

Older train car.

The details of that car.

The S to Chamber no longer exists.

Carpeted, fabric seating, and ceiling fans...nicer than my living room.

Ads are a constant.

These were made to last.

Then add color.

Changed the seats.

Notice the straps. Straphangers, get it.

Off to the Mall

These pictures were taken last year when the Atlas Mall in Glendale, Queens was just opening. Few stores were open and construction was still going on but it was open to visitors shoppers. The style is very Californian and they are trying to be more upscale, let's see how long that last.

Off the Q54 you are greeted with the cemetery of bad shoppers.

Turn around and flowers lead a path to the Mall.

Here it is the mall.

A few of the open shops.

They have a fountain to play in.

At this time the paint was still wet.

Don't worry now it is fully open and they have events every weekend. .

Trip 2: Random Stuff

Ok I'm still posting pictures from my second Governor's Island trip but these are the last in the set. I took a boat load of pictures but I'll stop at these last six.

It's a buoy.

Nice it was closed.

This was one of the many houses that are fenced off.

Cannon balls.

And the cannon. At least it will look nice when firing.

A look back as I leave the island.
