And a blast from the past (not that long ago, either):

A New Tenants Organization

https://stuytowntenantsadvocacy.blogspot.com/

A "David" at this point. But it will get bigger. No dues. And, for now, no comments there, please. Some of us wish to remain anonymous.

I am doing its blog chores, but my personal page and the comments and photos will stand and continue. But this "David" is there, too. Just bookmark it.

Unbelievable!

It was drizzling. Weather bad. Yet the films continued.

You know, I will not be surprised any more. There is laughter, a shaking of the head, for sure. After the shark was jumped already, what more is there?

Photos of the second film showing:

Welcome to Stuyvesant Town. Have a Great Day!





Continued. Later in the day. 






7/21 update:





7/24 update:


Later in the day, one mattress was not leaning against a tree anymore. I guess someone needed to take a rest.


Update, some day as before. Position of the mattresses changed! And the photo was taken 7:52 PM. Mattresses still there!

Daily Sight

Every day. I would be shocked if there was one day in which the loops were free of tossed out furniture and open mattresses.

Wake-Up Call Before 6:30 AM

So this morning, I was awakened by a loud, very loud pounding noise coming from the 20th Street loop. I looked outside and saw the outline of a light from near the corner. Oh, it must be after 8am and work has started already, I thought. But as I checked the kitchen clock, I saw it was 6:23am. Okay, STR has to do his thing and take photos. Sigh.... I took a quick shower, got dressed, and went outside with my camera. The workers had left. But, aside from the very early wake-up call, I saw this....

You will note that I saw on the left side, a discarded sofa, etc. It was there yesterday. So it wasn't picked up expeditiously at all, this being the next day. On the right was "the hole." I assume the loud pounding noise came from there. The workers were already gone. And then I saw something we are all familiar with: unpicked dog do-do. Then, a bit later, I saw those signs informing us to have a "great day" and, eh, a shot of other "things" before them.

This Sunday - Oval Greek Orgy!



As residents know, we have this Sunday a special world cup soccer-watching game on our huge monitor to annoy everyone who lives around the Oval and wants "peace and quiet." Sure you can watch this game at home, or maybe in a pub, but what good is that when you can watch this game sitting your ass on the grass or in our new cruise ship chairs. Don’t let the complainers get to you. Shout and scream all you want. Enjoy! Really enjoy! Sure, soccer is not a sport we Americans favor and no American team is involved, but what the hell, it is all about our community spirit.

Now, get this, starting at sundown, when the kiddies are all asleep after being puckered out with all the events we have in store for them, we will have our first Oval Greek Orgy! Yes, due to many requests, we will have these events for adults only, but also in honor of our big boss, Stephen A. Schwarzman, who goes to the Greek Islands frequently to party and dress up and spend millions of dollars. Last time, he dressed as Aristotle Onassis!... Forget R7 zoning. We’ve already forgotten it!... By nighttime, Public Safety won’t be around anyway. Are they ever around when it gets dark? Ha, ha.

Stuy Town T-Shirts will be given away, for sure. But, if you lose your T-Shirt... Well, what happens in Stuy Town stays in Stuy Town. That we know! Ha, ha.

So, eh, come and enjoy. Don’t forget, this Sunday. Our first Oval Greek Orgy!

Yours very sin-cerely,

Stuyvesant Town Paradise Forever

Deck Chairs Are Now At The Oval

Gumby must be working overtime. I thought that the shark couldn't have jumped more, but, boy, was I wrong! Spotted this morning at the Oval--white deck chairs! Yes, for those who jokingly made reference to our dear Rick operating a cruise ship in Florida. Well, your joke has turned into reality! Yes, deck chairs are now at the Oval!

Why stop there? As we know from cruise ships, there has been service for those that occupy those chairs. And we know that Five Stuy Cafe is just aching to make money. Deck chairs, service, those cooling drinks....


Inside the new Five Stuy Cafe. Getting ready for the masses at the Oval.


Enjoying all the amenities that the Oval offers. Music, movies, deck chairs, artisanal food, drinks...

Our masseuses are expert at getting out the kinks. (STR has first dibs!)
