Hurricane Sandy ripped the Rockaway boardwalk completely apart, depositing pieces in the streets and on people's front lawns. There was concern the boardwalk wouldn't be ready for summer, but yesterday the Parks commissioner said the beaches would reopen on May 24, just in time for Memorial Day weekend. Every day, "an army of people" is rebuilding the boardwalk and cleaning debris from the beaches. [NYT; previously]
