New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) used to be a place that you had to go to and not one that you would ever want to spend time at. That changed over the past few years when new terminals were opened with world-class restaurants, shopping, and amenities. Yesterday, a surprise visitor made an appearance after falling through the ceiling.

The old airport used to spring leaks and had garbage cans catching rain water. The new one is one of my favorite airports in the United States. While most of the airport has been rebuilt or renovated, the charming Marine Air Terminal remains. This building was erected in 1940 in an Art Deco style and currently houses Spirit Airlines. It’s charming, but being that it is 84 years old there are some things that aren’t as up to date as the other terminals. Yesterday, a raccoon made an appearance as it fell through the ceiling at the airport around 8:00 AM.

Luckily, the cute creature was captured and “released outside, with no further sightings reported” according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Anthony’s Take: I have seen rats and pigeons inside the old terminals at New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA), but never a raccoon. I’m glad it was safely found and relocated without being harmed.
