One Day Only: A clean, beautiful 43rd Avenue!

The only substance is the *snow*/

And it hides all that has gone wrong

    ~~Sleater-Kinney (adapted)

Ah, the BLIZZARD of 2016: it started snowing Friday night, and continued to snow all day Saturday, dropping about 27 inches in total.

Here is a photo taken last night, when it was still snowing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The one good thing about a blizzard is that it covers all the filth! Behold, a pristine 43rd Avenue:

THANK YOU to the DSNY, as well as to the folks who were hired to shovel, and to all emergency service personnel who have been working so hard to keep us safe in this storm. You are all heroes!

2016 is off to a filthy start

Ah, early January, the beginning of a new year. Tis a time when we welcome the new and bid adieu to the old. For some people, this translates into getting rid of old stuff that is cluttering up their closets/homes/garages. Decent folks would donate usable items to charity, recycle old magazines, and arrange for proper disposal of garbage. But 'round these parts, dirtbag lazy LOSERS just drive* their old crap to 43rd Avenue and unload it on the sidewalk. (*They had to have driven this stuff here, because it is way too massive to have transported via pushcart.) So, even though these losers have access to a vehicle, they chose to drive it to a quiet little sidewalk on a residential block and dump it there.

WHY?!?! 

Pile #1 has magazines with address labels. The address is on Eastern Parkway. Did this effer really drive from Brooklyn to unload their crap?! Does 43rd Avenue's rep as prime dumping ground really extend to other boroughs?

Pile #2. Looks like someone retiled their kitchen, and dumped the old rotten tiles and floor boards on 43rd Ave. Because why not? Someone else can clean up this mess, right?!

~~~~~~UPDATE: the DSNY picked up this crap within a day or two of my 311 call. Thank you DSNY!!! As always, you did a great job!
