The man at Battery Park informed me that, no, they don’t sell batteries. I called because I was hoping. He said, “I dunno,” when I asked where the business’ name came from.
Battery Park Industries is about two miles as the mop flies from Battery Park, Manhattan, and about half that to the Brooklyn entrance of the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel (at left). These are uncertain times; add this nondescript store to the list of things beyond our understanding.
I am still not sure what I am looking at. Battery Park is a place and not things that goes in cars and trucks. Or is it also a tunnel?
I still have the old blogs but I also have new ones Abe Lincoln Blogs and also look at Abraham Lincoln’s Blog
Oops, I had the name wrong – should read Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. It’s an under-the-water tunnel / roadway that connects the Battery (lower Manhattan) to Brooklyn, and it opened in 1950.
