Shell Gas Station Reopens in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn

The Shell gas station on Atlantic Avenue and Henry Street in Cobble Hill has been closed intermittently  since the Hurricane Sandy gas shortage hit.

But on Saturday, with odd-even rationing in full swing, we noticed that police had set cones to block off the southernmost lane of Atlantic Avenue and the station had reopened. A police van was parked conspicuously in front and two officers directed traffic. (The line continues along Atlantic, out of sight of the camera lens.)
