I live halfway between Bellerose branch and the Little Neck branch. Everyone wanted to work at the Little Neck branch. It's a nice neighborhood and there were some HUGE bettors there at it's peak. The clerks there used to make a lot of money just off tips. I was still going to the Race Palace once in awhile until a couple of years ago, but I heard it was empty prior to Covid etc..
