Hey Can any of you help me out??? I am planning a day trip to see the Blimp and Boys in action.... I know the park is in the bronx, but where? Is it safe?! Parking? Metro?

I know I won't be allowed in the press conference, but I'd like to get as close as possible, even if it means only seeing the Blimp overhead. I know nothing about NYC, except for Manhattan, so... I am lost!

Thanks in advance if you can help out.

Let me just say that if you have a suit of armor or some other kind of bullet proof spring casual attire, wear it.

This is NOT the park to be doing this in.

But whatever, I'll be there. I'll take the 4 train. Although I'm not sure what part of the park it's going to be in. Might be kind of a walk after you get out of the subway. IF you get out, I should say.

Just wondering, do Blimps "Pop" when they are shot? If will it go right through just leaving a hole?

Maxy!

Any of you fuckers who even THINK of popping my blimp...I will pull the heart out of your body and shit in the hole in your chest!

Now as for the part of the Bronx that tis park is in....sometimes being 6' tall, and looking like an insane pro wrestler from hell, has certain benefits. In other words, the punks will look for easier prey. Besides, I have a canister of police grade oc/pepper spray.

I pity the fool who thinks he can stop me from seeing the big blimp.

Is in Riverdale, Bronx
Is safe on daylight but don't try it at night, is big not as big as Central Park

From Manhattan take line 4 and stop at the terminal (after 238th) The problem is that you will be at the southwest part of the park and we don't know the exact location. I think it's going to be close. If not you're gonna take a long walk.

If you want to shoot the blimp you can go to the top part of Manhattan College you'll have a very nice view!

Here's a map
