NY Times: QPTV Producer John Baxter Featured in Story "Beachhead Established in One Man’s Parking War"

He says they are meant to deter the rest of the city from using the local stretch of the public beach.

meetings, on his Queens Public Television talk show, and in extensive letters into the local weekly, The Wave."
