You didn’t think strollers were just for getting kids from one place to another, did you? Adults pushing the strollers become adept at balancing the weight of food and other items against the weight of the child so that the thing doesn’t topple over.

The price of gas changes so frequently lately some stations don’t bother to post prices. It’s a gray day, so I thought b&w was appropriate. (The monolithic building in the background is Caton Towers on Ocean Parkway.)

Coney Island Avenue is one gas station after another, perfect for a backseat passenger snapping pictures. Are we supposed to be boycotting this brand? Life in Brooklyn is much easier without a car, though the trade-off is time spent on public transportation (see yesterday’s post).

Socially speaking, it’s probably the same thing to be taking pictures of washing machines as doing the laundry on a weekend evening. I’m going to focus on the funky pink lettering rather than ponder that question.

It’s another world on Coney Island Avenue. Many cultures are represented between Prospect Park and Coney Island. I found the purple brown color of this parking lot visually interesting, along with the sad trees, which will never thrive here, where almost everything is paved.

Sahara, on Coney Island Avenue, is a mega-restaurant. There’s seating for 600, but a line often spills out the front door. The menu is basic Mediterranean/ Middle Eastern, but they do a good job with the kebabs and hummus, and the atmosphere is friendly.
