Been Burned by a Ticket?

Have you recently received a parking ticket or had your car towed because of unclear signs?

You may think you’re a law abiding citizen, but if you drive in New York City, you’re bound to rack up parking fines and even tow fees.

Sometimes it’s our fault; we forgot to set our cell phone alarm while shopping on Northern Boulevard, and went overtime on a meter.

Other times, we by unclear or obstructed signs.

If you were recently towed or ticketed in New York City, and you blame it on the sign, we’d like to hear all about it.

Send us a photo of the faulty sign!

We’ll ask the Department of Transportation about especially baffling signs—on your behalf! We’ll also warn our readers not to park there. Here’s a breakdown of what you should send:

-A photo of the confusing sign

-A photo of where your car was parked

-A simple photo or PDF of the ticket

-Tell us where exactly you were parked

Email those to Lori.gross@patch.com. We can’t wait to see these signs.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
