They get no support, the rent is high , the taxes keep going up, and the price of tickets up! I lived over there and that cop is ruthless he comes from no where and tickets you immediately because once he makes his quota he is done and he can go to sleep somewhere. What a shame Another example of how the small family businesses are being forced to close by the city!! They get no support, the rent is high , the taxes keep going up, and the price of tickets up!

The scooter cop is right on ya, and I rode around some very long blocks trying to something, but couldn't find anything. It's not the walk, but I have kids with me so its a hassle. Anyway, best of luck and thank you for your service to the area residents. Never was able to shop in there because of the parking.

I just go down to the end of Ave. S and hang into the parking lot for Marine Park. The walk isn't bad for me and the price sure beats a parking ticket. Parking is a pain there.
