Another eyesore ambulance

Parked behind an abandoned newsstand, opposite the entrance to an abandoned LIRR station, sits this former Mary Immaculate ambulance, minus a few parts. Just another friendly reminder that the borough's health care system is going to hell in a hand basket in case you haven't been to a local emergency room lately.

Mary Immaculate and St. John's Queens Hospitals closed 1 year ago today.

I didn't know that a used ambulance was so cheap that one would abandond it after using it for such a short period of time. Why aren't they donated to small towns?

Froget a small town. That bus as shell is worth a couple of thousand dollars. Many of the cash strapped hospitals like St Vincents (whose symbol is still on it) would kill to have it even if it is just for spare parts!

those trucks were held together with duct tape and rubber bands. there isn't a part on it that's even worth stripping, because those parts were already stripped from other trucks..
