๐๐ All Aboard the Time Machine! Vintage Trains Take Over Brooklyn! ๐ฐ๏ธ๐ |
Choo choo! ๐ Brooklynโs tracks are turning back time this weekend with the Parade of Trains โ your ticket to ride through NYCโs transit history (all for the price of a MetroCard swipe or OMNY tap ๐ณโจ). On Sunday, June 8th from 11amโ4pm, hop between beautifully restored historic trains like the R1/9s, BU Gate Cars, and BMT Standards โ all making a grand comeback on the B/Q line between Brighton Beach and Kings Highway. ๐๐ฅ |
Whether you're a transit nerd ๐ง, a history buff ๐, or just looking for something super cool to do with the kids ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ, this eventโs got you covered. Expect quick 10-minute rides, platform nostalgia, and major photo ops (๐ธ but leave the selfie sticks at home, please!). Plus, register in advance for a chance to win a FREE family membership to the Transit Museum โ hello bonus prize! ๐๏ธ๐ So pack some excitement, hold onto your hats (and kids), and get ready to step into subway time-travel mode โ choo-choo for the win! ๐๐ค๏ธ For more info click here. |
๐๐ธ Smile for the Sweeper-Cam! NYCโs Parking Scofflaws Might Soon Be Caught on Camera ๐งน๐ซ |
Say cheese... or say goodbye to ignoring alternate-side parking! ๐ฌ New York City may soon deploy cameras on its street sweepers to bust the stubborn drivers who leave their cars blocking curbside cleaning. Under a new plan championed by the City Council, those trusty DSNY brooms might double as high-tech tattletales, snapping pics of parked violators and serving up instant tickets โ no meter maid required! ๐ท๐งพ |
The goal? Cleaner streets, fewer rats ๐, and maybe a little justice for the folks who actually follow the rules (we see you ๐). But not everyoneโs thrilled โ some residents are crying โBig Brotherโ ๐ก while others are rolling their eyes at another potential cash grab. Still, with each sweeper hauling nearly a ton of city grime per shift, officials say it's time we cleared the curb โ or paid the price! ๐งน๐ธ |
So New Yorkers, start your engines and set those alarms โฐ... because if this bill passes before June 12, that lazy morning park job could end up costing you more than just street cred. Youโve been warned โ and soon, youโll be watched! ๐๐๐ฅ |

โ๏ธ๐จ Cool News, New York! Get a Free A/C Through the Essential Plan Cooling Program! ๐ฌ๏ธ๐ |
Summer in NYC can be brutal โ but if youโve got asthma and youโre enrolled in the Essential Plan, relief is just a click away! ๐ป NY State of Health is handing out FREE air conditioners (yes, free!) to help keep your home chill and your lungs happy ๐ฎโ๐จ. If you qualify, a brand-new cooling unit could be delivered and installed at your place โ no sweat, no cost (except to the state ๐). And if your window setup is a no-go, they'll even send you a fan instead! ๐ชญ |
But hereโs the catch โ it's first-come, first-cooled! ๐ง This offer is only good until August 31, 2025 or until funds melt away, whichever comes first. So don't wait! Fill out the quick online app (takes just 5โ10 minutes), and you could be lounging in icy bliss just weeks from now. ๐๏ธโ๏ธ Plus, you keep the unit forever โ just promise to treat it right and store it when winter rolls in. Letโs beat the heat, protect your health, and enjoy a breath of fresh (cool!) air this summer! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐๐For more info click here. |
