Recognize this location for sixth boro riverbank living?
The fine print there says USNS GySgt. Fred W. Stockham (T-AK-3017), which was just outside the VZ Bridge a few days ago.
Now it’s over by FDNY Marine 9, as if it were someone’s yacht. The complex finally looked open, so I wandered in and
here’s what I saw . . . right here on Staten Island.
I don’t know who lives here or where the clientele comes from, but I’m positive the President-elect will be checking the residency papers on the opticians selling goggles. Will there be waivers? here.
Actually, I left quickly because this place gave me a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy feel.
Now THIS is a strange juxtaposition in this Potemkin Village.
But don’t take my word and photos for it. Click here or next time you’re in Stapleton, check the place out, before new tenant emporiums arrive.

it looks like weekhawken, NJ. Or long the river, New Orleans. Or waterside, Chicago. Or Boston. Or…any waterfront!!! Except Oswego. Oswego is safe.

I love how they converted an old Maersk ship into that awesome looking thing. Living under the windmill I get to drive over to the docks and watch them work on the ships. I was trying to figure out why the Hoegh Ro/Ro was there for about a week on the outside of the dock.
