Aqueduct Racetrack and the Resorts World Casino (the highest-revenue slot parlor in the nation!) are located right on the other side of the Rockaway Line subway tracks running across the background of this photo. If I were a betting man, I'd wager that most of the folks cramming their cars into this sparsely populated corner of the neighborhood are taking advantage of the free street parking and just walking through the nearby subway station underpass, leaving them with a few extra dollars in their pocket to burn on the horses or the slots.
