Ridgewood stop signs go ghetto

Perhaps DSNY would like to make a visit to the corner of Himrod Street and Grandview Avenue in Ridgewood and have a talk with the owners of the bodega there.


Just a suggestion.

These advertising signs being posted up all over the place are getting out of control. Especially all these donate your car signs on every lightpole.

If you see any of these signs the best thing to do is report them to sanitation through the 311 or the 311 website. It will take 2 minutes and it will help clean up the place a bit.

And those
"out of shape? try kickboxing" signs for tiger shulman karate.
Anyone enrolled in TS karate should withdraw and vocally complain about their advertising tactics.

A lot of these signs are posted way high up. How do they do that?

I once saw a sanitation agent taking down these signs that were high up mabye 12 feet or so. He had a long pole with a sort of grabbing claw on it. i am assuming if they can be taken down that way, they can be put up using the same method.

No problem.
I have a fiberglass ladder I keep in my truck and simply cut them down...its no big deal.
They make great garage floor crawl tarps to work on cars.
--Perfect size and shape
I just brought one out to Southold tonight to oil change my tractor. (fall leaf cleanup)
--F*ck em !

BTW: Car Quest has Mobile 1 on sale $3.99 a quart.

Just the imported scum trying to make their new home look like the cesspool they came from. I guess they find comfort living in squalor, i suppose.

I think all a concerned resident has to do is walk by and fuck it up. Problem solved:)

rip them down - that's what I do when I see signs posted on trees, etc.

Those signs are in front of the bodega of choice for Grover Cleveland "students".A school which has become increasingly ghetto in recent years, and its not the kids who come in from outside, it's the neighborhood wannabes who are the worst, running around with do-rags, calling each other "N*****". The bodega owners are just going for their customer base,lowest common denominator and all.I say it's Scarola's fault- well, his and Donna Williams'.

Increasingly ghetto??? Wow how old are you... I know you couldn't have been born past 95 to say something like that because I've lived across the street from this school for about 15 years and never was this school more ghetto than from 98-04... Every now and then the school gets a bad batch of students like in 09' and certain things happen but none to the level that I saw in the late 90s...

That school was on the news a number of times back then... One kid shot up the school and killed 3 people including a teacher and a student I believe and injured two more because the teacher had failed him and he came for retribution...

Also the graffitti problem was rampid back then... They use to graffitti the deli that was there before this guy and the building as well all the time... That building used to look so ghetto you would think you were in East NY... They also used to graffitti the the walls of the houses right on top of the lot with all those metal garages and they would graffitti like crazy all three sides of tonsor ave... both right sides of tonsor and also the left side of tonsor ave heading towards metropolitan... The school was in bad shape in terms of disrepair and the students care for the school and the neighborhood surrounding the school reflected that...

So please... do not come with that nonsense that the school has gone ghetto... Because it shows me how little you know of what ghetto really is...

Also, just because there may be more hispanic students in the school nowadays than there was back then in the late 90s...By far without question the school was far more ghetto back then than now... You gotta compare it to the times of back then... Crime was more rampid, neighborhoods were worse, students were poorer and therefore you could actually consider them to be ghetto... Nowadays, all you have is a bunch of wannabees who want to embrace that thug lifestyle but who are nowhere near the ghetto kids that used to go to this school
