For the next 4 weekends, there isn’t going to be any 7 train service.  Work is being done to upgrade signal lights and what not.

Consequently, you might not see your 7 train friends at the bars for the next few weeks.  Yep, it’s going to be a pretty boring weekend.  Most likely, they’ll suck it up a least one weekend and get a cab.  Honestly though, how long can you keep that crap up?  Oh, and then there’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend.  No dice.

But hey, at least the MTA is willing to offer alternative transporation suggestions.  Oh yeah, oops.  Scratch that idea.

Local residents held a protest against the plans to continue work over the next few weekends.

Luckily, property costs are at an all time low.  Rent is cheap, and overhead involved in owning a business is virtually nonexistent.  Oohh swing and a miss again.  Restaurant and store owners don’t know what they are going to do with a dramatic drop in weekend sales. 

All around, it’s a crappy situation.
