Old Ancient Truck Stop in Manhattan

If memory serves, it was on the Jersey side, not too far from the Holland tunnel on 1/9.

 

@Ruthless might know.

 

Jersey City 15C off turnpike comes to mind as a old truckstop. Not worthy of the name. The mens room is no uranals or toilets, just third world holes in the floor and walls. No stalls either sinks gone.

We banded together as a group before walking to and from the lot.

Never at night and parking is real particular, ramming your trailer into the corner three stacked containers is best. Then stand to in the drivers seat until morning.

 

Never heard of any thing like it outside of a movie.


5 acres in Manhattan... even in Harlem that’d be millions of dollars in real estate.

 

Must of been just outside Manhattan somewhere.......

 

Like I said the only one I remember was in Long Island City. And I think there was some kind of rinky-dink parking area out in Lake Ronkonkoma but that wouldn't be it either. Beats me LOL,some things are better left forgotten. I do remember going to Hunts Point before they fenced it all in that was a real circus.

 

I don’t think there has ever been an actual truck stop in Manhattan, although there are some vacant lots along the west side on 9A up in the 30’s near Javits Center that have a bunch of trailers parked in them that could be used for overnight truck parking. I used to see a few trucks that would shut down for the night along west side hwy I am assuming were waiting to get into Javits Center in the morning since I am pretty sure they don’t allow overnight parking on their property. Always thought that took some serious balls to try that. Smart idea though rolling in there late at night.
