Traffic Cone Christmas
Queens, NY - Catherine Penfold-Waxman - Saturday, December 24th, 2005 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
A very low-rent store has sprung up on 34th Avenue. I'm not entirely sure what it sells. I've peered in and it's gutted inside and there are about 7 kids bikes. About three weeks ago, the owner put up an inflatable santa over the door, installed a human-sized mechanical santa outside and even donned a santa suit himself. His stock went up from the 7 kids bikes to include three real christmas trees and the fiber optic tree you see nattily displayed in a traffic cone.
As I snapped this shot on my cameraphone, he said, "Don't take pictures, buy it!" And you know, I think I will, so long as it comes with the traffic cone.
(Mitch says that in the past, the guy has stopped him and asked if he wanted to buy 2 packs of menthols for $6 and on a separate occaision, three cans of Dr. Pepper.)
