    "Eastern Parkway, lovely as it is, is pretty useless as a truck route, because of the slow speed limit and the number of red lights" 

    Even more so because it's a parkway and commercial traffic isn't permitted to use it.

    The Q at Parkside made this informative post about what is allowed under the current zoning of Empire Boulevard.

    There are worse things that can be built than another storage place. They could open up a crematorium or a chicken market.

    Just to clarify, the old gas station on the northeast corner is the one this thread is dedicated to. The property in the photo has been for sale/lease for many years.

    As much as i understand the need for storage Why are these typically sheetmetal clad buildings SO UGLY? What is achieved by turning the building into a huge billboard as if we are blind and cannot read ? Are they adveritsing to aircraft or google earth?

    It is official: There are now more than 3x as many self storage locations in the US than there are McDonald's locations.
