The TA page deals with a lot of quality of life issues, issues this other group doesnt want to hear about but also directly cause, such as their support of the ice skating rink and other commercial activities in the Oval. If they want peace and harmony, they should stay on their own side of the yard. It's also unfair that the TA will allow them to come to their page and start trouble, but the Oval Families page is a private group.

I'm glad you moderate and don't let stupid stuff get through. I have been reading the TA facebook site and am appalled at the lack of moderation and the crass insults that get through. This is still a somewhat free, democratic, civilized society we live in and nobody has to agree with everybody or even anybody else; however, there should be a line drawn when it comes to insulting and inflammatory rhetoric. Sadly, a lot of the undiluted bile is coming from people who are old enough to know better. I would love to see the ice rink closed down and the playground returned to its original state as a playground; I would love to see the concerts and various and sundry commercial efforts (which are pathetic) done away with. Not everyone will agree with me, but that is their right and they don't deserve to be flamed to death if they support these misguided enterprises!<br />I totally believe that the money wasted on these silly enterprises could be better spent on maintenance and cleaning of the buildings and on providing functional and clean laundry rooms. Not everybody sees it that way and they have a right to say so without being insulted. And it's the same two people who berate dissenters all the time. This reflects very badly on the TA. Thank you.

Such a shame because the weather is still nice which lots of people (kids especially) and activities are being displaced by this money-grubbing, open to the public ice rink. I don't even particularly care for kids screaming and playing soccer or whatever...but I do feel as residents they are ENTITLED TO USE OF PLAYGROUND 10. Whoever made the call on this ice rink nonsense deserves a quick punch in the mouth, seriously.

In the 50-'s - 70's, adults generally left their apartments to work, but in the last 25 years or so, a great number of people divide their work hours between their homes and other places. I also remember all the band practice, but know for a fact that Met required that those sessions be reasonable. I personally know someone who taught piano who had to install a "practice piano" so that the noise wouldn't be constantly heard.<br /><br />Tap dancing ? There are apartments directly above all the carriage rooms. Given the concrete walls and the acoustics, my guess is that the noise would travel up to those apartments fairly clearly. It's the same reason that the laundry rooms were closed at 11 PM, so that residents above weren't subjected to someone drying their tennis shoes in the middle of the night (kaboom,kaboom,kaboom).<br /><br />One of the worst problems that residents (and management) face today is that people have lost sight of the fact that they need to respect their neighbors. It really seems like many people think that the world simply revolves around them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-57260024032648635662012-10-16T00:46:59.133-04:002012-10-16T00:46:59.133-04:00@Anon 10:15 You are well into your 60s yet you hav...@Anon 10:15 You are well into your 60s yet you have little nieces and nephews?

The only thing I really hate about the place now is dormitory ambiance. I've got nothing against college kids, but I don't believe they belong here.

Re: Ice Rink, I don't mind it that much because I don't live above it, and it does give pleasure to a bunch of residents, and the kids will have nice memories of it when they grow up. BUT, the result of the Ice Rink, when Playground 10 was out of commission for two-three months afterward because of the damage it did, IS of concern. As is the now standard use of previously free property for a commercial venture. Hopefully Oval Moms can see that there are issues BEYOND personal pleasure that speak of what is truly happening in Stuy Town regarding its commercialization and, as in the case of many Oval events, debasement. <br /><br />Re: that football crap on the inflatable screen, residents who wish to use the Oval during that time ARE inconvenienced, as are those residents who live around the Oval and are forced to hear what's happening at that "event." A pathetically low number of tenants turn up for these sport watching events, so what's the point, other than that CWCapital can promote Stuy Town as having such a (silly) amenity.<br /><br />Anyway, the bottom line is that not everything here is positive, and residents have a right to put up a fight on matters of concern.Stuy Town Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538426011607971633noreply@blogger.com
