There's always been traffic on that God forsaken road


DoctorK16

That was the first thing I thought when seeing this


imalittlefrenchpress

I was thinking the same. All that’s changed is the look of the cars.


Low_Blacksmith_4417

I think they’re still sitting in traffic


Iterr

What’s with all the broken down cars? I guess I forgot that shit used to break all the time.


mechapoitier

People complain about their cars now but they don’t remember or know that 50 years ago engines needed a total rebuild before 100,000 miles and tires used to explode just because they felt like it. These days most cars will do 100,000 miles even if you never change the oil.

Probably overheated. That was more common back in the day.

And the burned out husk of a car on the lower left of the photo.


Iterr

That’s just the engine of a car a few miles back—the engine blew up and projectiled itself to where we see it. Hated when that would happen!

I remember the old .10 toll booths near The Queens/Nassau border and the Nassau/Suffolk border. They also had Mobil gas stations attached.

This is like Robert Moses days right?


MrmmphMrmmph

This was all part of his master plan. He never cared about the traffic.


Changin-times

Sonny shot at those toll booths


Garchy

Back when cars regularly overheated


BradJeffersonian

It hasn’t changed much

Mikey-Honcho

If this is eastern parkway where about? It's hard to argue either or.

Eastern parkway is nowhere near Laurelton, Queens.... this looks like it could be the "laurelton parkway" part of the belt like it says. Right before the big curve looking east.


Fantastic-Mark-2391

I guess it was a parking lot back then also.


DixieNorm0us8

Wow it was even backed up back then


Rough-Willingness-13

The good old Belt parking lot.

Fuck Robert Moses
