Red Hook's Fairway Looking Ready For The Big Re-Opening Tomorrow

Fairway seems ready for its big re-opening tomorrow, judging by the stocked outside produce section is already restocked and the yellow lines in the parking lot.
The Red Hook supermarket has been closed since the end of October, when Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on this waterfront community.
Like many others, the Civil War era-building that houses Fairway suffered major water damage. After months of reparation and renovation, Fairway is ready for business again.
Are you looking forward to the grand re-opening?
What have you missed most?  The cheese counter, the produce, the fresh seafood or the meat section?


My friend and PMFA reader Nasreen was down in Red Hook this morning and took the photos above.
Thanks, Nasreen.

Park Too Long At Fairway In Red Hook And You Will Be Immobilized

Warning!
Parking Violators Will Be
IMMOBILIZED
And Charged A Service Fee
$50ºº Plus Tax

Is this new, dear Reader? There have always been signs around Fairway's parking lot in Red Hook warning that the lot was reserved for costumers only. I think there always were some that stated that parking was limited to two hours. But the threat of having one's car immobilized seemed new. The signs looked as though they had just been put up.
Doesn't this seem just a bit extreme?
Has anyone had their car "immobilized" yet?
