F*ck you very much, New York City

On the corner of Woodside Avenue and 74th, the street is a'crumblin' and taking the sewer grate with it. There is a person-sized hole that provides ready access to the fecally underbelly of the neighborhood. This hole has been present for at least a month. The city's response?- put a traffic cone next to it, and throw a wooden board over the hole (of course the board never stays in place). I put in a 311 complaint the other day, but I doubt it will do any good. 

UPDATE: As of June 30, this condition is the same. Does someone have to fall through the hole (God forbid) before the sh*tty takes action?!?!

UPDATE: Today is April 8, 2017. This curb has finally been repaired!!

So this fine morning, I found THIS

and THIS

...and also lots of blue drug baggies. I also noticed several groups of druggy losers on the Ave and in the alley of the corner crackhouse.

Apparently the cracksters found (well, created) a new point of entry by pushing the AC through the window: 

Oh, and word on the street is that "WT" is a gang tag. Apparently the WT folks just took over the crackhouse. Well, at least the WTs know how to write proper letters- i can't make heads or tails of the tags that the former gang

scribbled. WTs' elementary school teachers must be so proud!

On a brighter note, a kind gentleman gave me a chocolate chip cookie!
