Ha, Ha, Ha!
Residents may want to be someplace else while this is happening. I pity the seniors who have no place to go. Well, there are earmuffs and earplugs. Get them while you can. What is the betting that the legal decibel level will be ignored?
These will be handed out to all residents:
There are so many "pride months" these days that it is ridiculously. As someone who needs assistance with a walking device, I am against Disability Pride, as, for sure, anyone would jump for joy if they could walk without the use of any device. You have to live with what you have, adjust, make better if you can, but this pride month is so childish and dumb. Besides, according to some, "pride" is a seventh sin and considered the greatest. But we are pushed to be "proud" of whatever we have that is not high up on the totem pole. So every month, there is a pride month, frequently more than one, because it's getting crowded.
Let's see. Residents moving out of the city, the city in financial crisis, crime, illegal migrants living in hotels on residents' dime, etc. Here in Stuy Town, we have a councilman and an assemblyman. One is a waste, the other is okay, but a classic bs-er. His latest brochure promotes everything he is doing for the city as an assemblyman, which means spending more money and more money. Nowhere does he speak about austerity and making sure that the city's programs are lean and working. Just spend more money, folks. The politicians try to make it seem that big government is spending this money, but the government is residents in the end, and they know that. So residents, like you and me, will pay. Eventually.
You have to hand to Beam Living and Stuy Town. They care a lot and remind children that they can start a conversion, as the little ones may get confused about what benches are for. Of course, the diapers have to be changed, too, in case they are soiled and smelly.
So, I saw this morning that these new signs and two new reddish benches were put at the Oval. How wonderful for the little ones! Apparently later there are candies, though the old-fashioned ones like Ring-Dings cost a lot now, so something cheap will be provided by Beam.
LatinX??? Beam Living, once again, goes woke. The latest is using LatinX, instead of Latin, which everyone understands and has understood for decades.
To the pharmacist: "Sir, do you have any salve for this skin problem." Response from the nice pharmacist: "Yes, we do have a new product that works wonders. It's called LatinX."
Is Beam/Stuy Town serious? Do they have a person who is real and not just a voice who follows whatever idiocy the party line suggests?
I guess using Latina or Latino is out. Now, these people are LatinX!... Why not call everyone X, and be done with it.
How many do you recognize? The "migrants" are here. Won't you give your Stuy Town home to them?
This was on the outside of my doorknob. It can't be for me. Maybe it is for one of newbies who are coming into Stuy Town this week. College and NYU kids with their suitcases on rollers and wondering just where that "welcome home" building is in this maze. I know it can't be for seniors. There is no phone number. A code you scan with a high-priced cellphone. The meeting is at OneRoof, which I first thought was a Stuy Town building roof, but that can't be it, as no one is allowed to go on the roof.
But wait! Must be for older residents? Buy and sell items? Introduce your pet/? Network? Hmm...
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the last message from the ST Clown where Beam ordered you to sit down on one of Stuy Town and Peter Cooper benches. Beam aims to take care of you 'cause you can't take care of yourselves!
There is no general manager here in Stuy Town/Peter Cooper Village. The position has been divided up. No wonder. These are photos I took the other day. The first few are the passages from one side of Stuy Town to the other. They are all on the 20th Street loop. These should be smooth for people with disabilities using walkers, canes, etc. I myself need a walker, and I've talked to people with those issues. These people find it harder to walk with the gouges, potholes and just sloppy work. Even people with shopping carts and baby strollers may have a problem. The last photo is from something that I was surprised to see: A "good neighbors" sign that addresses residents like children. Do we really need to be told what to do when we are sitting on a bench? (The sign is now gone, either from Beam or a resident.)
More 8/6: The new sign shown in the photos may be gone (temporarily), but other Beam Living "sit here and say hello to a neighbor" signs are appearing all over Stuy Town and Peter Cooper Village. Thank you, Beam and a certain resident, for telling us what we should do. We need instructions because we are stupid and don't know what a bench is for. Some of us may think that a bench can also be used for peace and quiet and a rest, but these are troublemakers. Ha, ha! As we know a bench "is built for conversation." Beam says so!
More 8/12: STR gets a letter from Stuy Town!.... I showed the road work that was done, some of which you will see in the photos I took. It was not at "Oval Office," but at the crosswalk there. I used the word "bullshit," talking about this work and how pathetic it is and the explanations given. Bullshit is not a word one hears in pleasant genteel company, but is used a lot in New York and elsewhere. Even Presidents of the United States have used that word! Please get people in charge who are New Yorkers or speak the lingo.
