Steve Powers is a GENIUS and I’m happy he’s my friend.

Let’s see.. I could wait in line for Nathan’s or.. I could have a “fresh grilled” hot dog from one of these vending machines right off the boardwalk…

 

Now, admittedly, I HATE waiting in lines… but.. COME ON!!!  

Do they really sell any dogs outta these things??

I like how those vending machines are painted jet black so they can soak up the sun for hours each day!

Truth be told, normally we’d have waited in line for Nathan’s.. we DID NOT hit these machines either.. instead we hit the beer garden and had a pulled pork sandwich, some fries and slaw and a couple of ICE COLD beers – Highly recommended.

Today was, supposedly, the final day of operation for Astroland the famous Coney Island amusement park.  Molly and I decided to pay a final visit today and the weather couldn’t have been nicer.
