SfanGoch Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Finally got out of a toxic situation. My son, our cat and I are getting out of a bad deal and moving to a new 2BR pad in Rockaway Park, in Queens, NY. in 2-3 weeks. We'll be only a block away from the beach and still close enough to go back to my old nabe of Greenpernt and see old friends. It was long overdue; but, I was able to finally pull it off. It ain't, as Ralph Kramden says, Park Avenue; but, it's plenty swell enough for us. Now, we can take Fmeep to the boardwalk for his daily constitutionals. Chicks love cats.
peteski Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 So, you're leaving the old battleaxe behind? Nice! Hopefully the new pad has enough room for all your models.
cowboy rich Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Glad you got you and your son out of a bad situation, and you you got to bring your pet!! Double win!?
Tom Geiger Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Good luck with the move! Hope it makes your life better!
SfanGoch Posted February 6, 2019 Author Posted February 6, 2019 Considering the hell we had to deal with, living in a refrigerator packing crate on the corner of Nassau Avenue and Russell Street would have been a quality of life improvement. We were hoping to get a place in Bensonhurst; but, that didn't pan out. The main consideration was that my kid has a fairly quick subway and/or limited stop bus commute to and from school (approx. 50 minutes) and his weekend job (approx. 30 minutes). Living just a five minute walk south to the beach, the Rockaway/ Brooklyn/Long Island City Ferry Terminal just two blocks north and the fact we have a yard are added bonuses.
kitbash1 Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Glad things are working out for you and your son and cat.
von Zipper Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Good for you , Joe !!! Glad things are looking up for you and your son . Would love to see a picture of the cat on a leash too......
SfanGoch Posted February 6, 2019 Author Posted February 6, 2019 Thanks for all the well wishes, guys. Now, I don't need to invest in a wood chipper.

Rob Hall Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Random comment...this reminded me of the song Bensonhurst Blues. Somehow this track ending up in my iTunes, not sure how I got it, may have been on a soundtrack or compilation CD. Edited February 6, 2019 by Rob Hall
slusher Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Wish you and your son good luck on the move and new apartment Joe!!
