A lovely day to sit out and smoke some crack

I did not find many drug baggies today, but I spotted these two ladies actually smoking crack right out front, in broad daylight. To be fair, it WAS a beautiful sunny day. It would be a shame to smoke  your crack indoors when you could sit out and enjoy the sunshine.

In all seriousness, this is just pathetic. Queens has become so filthy and lawless that people feel perfectly comfortable sitting outside smoking crack.

Feb. 26: Four hours of filth

This past Saturday, I spent a grand total of 4 hours picking up crap from 43rd, 44th, and Woodside Avenues between 72nd and 74th Streets. I filled 3 large trash bags. 

Fancy a nap?

Drug baggies du jour:

And of course some of these:

And some quality booze to get you in the mood:

Thankfully there wasn't any major dumping, just the usual litter:

Again, the 3 short blocks I cleaned weren't in the middle of nowhere. They are all blocks on which people reside, and in close vicinity to a church, a preschool, and a huge elementary school. It is SO not okay for kids to walk by such disgusting crap- ie, the condoms, tiny drug baggies with white powder residue, empty booze botyles. What the fork?- doesn't ANYONE around here think this is problematic?! Ugh!

Gaah!!!! Is 44th Avenue the new 43rd?

Yesterday I decided to venture beyond the bucolic hills of 43rd Ave (alright, there's nothing bucolic about 43rd Ave...but it IS on a hill!). It appears 44th Avenue is just as bad as 43rd!

44th Avenue Whitefish (perhaps a misnomer, in this particular instance):

44th Ave drug baggie and stolen* Amazon boxes (*alright, I have no proof that they were stolen...but several packages were stolen from my porch this past month, so I'm a little suspicious... and/or jaded/crazy?)

44th Avenue General Filth:

AND of course 44th Avenue dumping.

No trash cans?- that's ok, just throw your litter in front of this Apartment Building

I am so sick of the filth surrounding this apartment building on the Woodside-Elmhurst border. These photos show what it looks like on a GOOD day. There is usually a great deal more litter on the sidewalk and gutter and on the patches of grass. I can't stand this! None of the people who reside herein seem to care that they live in this filth.
