I know someone who will not be talking the Q train to manhattan in the near future
only made it to Atlantic before I said **** it and found an alternative route.
That's my only sensible option for now until the B is back up. What was wrong with your experience?

My area, Hempstead, Baldwin, etc.
IMO any area where it's middle lower class
They are practically in the rich people's area.
We are absolute dead last priority.
Lipa website is lying about numbers of people who have power

Looking better, when I left the gym this morning the line from 65th and 3rd was only to 71st. Although my stepfather got on the line shortly after and was told by police 20 mins later no more gas.

not true at all. my mom's on the north shore in a fairly affluent community and she still doesn't have power. been 7 days now.
super wealthy areas like brookville are still without power.most of hempstead has power
lipa is lying about their number though. that i agree with

Still no power for me in Central NJ. They said November 9th, but with these freezing temperatures, I'm really hoping it's before that. Can't sleep in the cold anymore. I don't even care about having no internet or TV....just give me some damn heat. The good thing is that the gas situation looks to be better now. I got gas yesterday and only waited 5 minutes, so thats a plus.

All of hempstead has not been restored my sister still lives there, I'm in Uniondale and I can tell you Nothing beyond Hofstra going south of Front street is lighted and I drive down Uniondale ave almost everyday.
Even Nassau road doesn't have stop lights on the busy intersections. getting on and off the parkway across the overpass.
If you look on the interactive map it shows the hardhats where they have crew, I'm pretty certain most of those crews are in Brookville, Port Jeff, Long Beach the rest of the north and south shores along the coast lines.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Passed by the Shell on Woodhaven Blvd. and Myrtle Ave. in Queens and they're gas line was about 2 blocks long (long side of the block). My suggestion to everyone if you can find red gas containers fill those up instead of waiting on line. Gas container lines are much shorter.

might be too late to matter to yall but I've never been in a train so packed in my life :x
like a pickpockets wet dream come true. definitely would avoid taking during the morning commute if you can until they get the B running again (which they had just sitting there on the express track begging to be used

He's got a great PR team.
On the heels of catching heat for trying to have the NYC marathon, him riding the subway is a predictable photo op.

He rides the subway all the time since hes been Mayor. Its ******** though. There are multiple Suburban SUV's that are at different points of the train's stops. So just in case they have to be around.
For all the man power/resources it takes for him to ride the subway he might as well ride in the Suburban to the destinations he goes too.

North Jersey is getting better with the gas.
you have to pay $12 for the bridge back (less if you have ezpass) but there should be 2 open right over the bridge with "short" lines
you can go through new york state to Jersey(avoiding the bridge and toll), I heard rt 17 by mahwah has almost all of their gas stations open and functional.

Glad to hear man. Repped. What part of central NJ are you from? I'm from central NJ too and still without power. Currently at school and hoping I get a pleasant surprise when I get back home!
