Newmark's Door

The penny may seem like a harmless coin.

But few things symbolize our national dysfunction more than the inability to stop minting this worthless currency.

 

"$20 million in taxpayer funds spent on NYC park, dog run that few use thanks to location, homeless druggies".

The $17.8 million state-funded Maspeth Park has been a virtual ghost town since opening under the Kosciuszko Bridge last year.

It is in an isolated industrial and manufacturing zone at 54th Road and 43rd Street — over a mile from the nearest subway station —and lacks the proper signage and lighting for passers-by to find it, locals told The Post.
