Abandoned Fort Tilden
Rockaways, Queens

Dropping off yet another rental car, I took advantage of being so close to JFK’s rental hub by checking in on my favorite abandoned structure at Fort Tilden, part of the Gateway Recreation Area in the Rockaways, Queens. The enormous structure served as a train garage but hasn’t been in use since Hurricane Sandy badly damaged it. Now it has got some great art and lots of interesting textures. And from its top floor, you get a view of the crashing waves at the shore.

I also checked out the neighboring structure, which was now ripped open wide compared to my last visit. Inside, lots of theater props and backdrops.
