Frest Hlls?


Does anyone understand why there are letters missing in the name Forest Hills? The page it directs you to spells it just fine.

Where is this bus shelter located?

Queens Crapper said...

Why does that matter? The ad appears at multiple shelters.

Queenscrap you're just not as hip, creative, or interesting as us creative types.

This is 2014!

Hey Crappy. I'm on your side. Don't bite my head off.
NYCGO asked me for the location(s). Could you please at least let me know where you took the pic? I can't make it out. I could go outside and look for myself but it's too cold.
Thanks

Thanks Crappy. It probably is a marketing stunt.

It's text speak, spelling is overrated.

I think it's a hipster thing. They "text" this way, leaving letters out.

Lol.....A "modern" way of abbreviations....that's because these hipsters and yuppies are idiots.

Why are their no hills and no forest in FRST HLS?

Queens Crapper said...

There are at Forest Park.

The hills are on the north side of QBlvd from approx Jewel Av toward 67 Rd down to the Grand Central Pkwy.

I'm very happy to see Queens Crap readers, and Queens Crapper himself, working out the meaning of the Forest Hills bus shelter. J's proposed neighborhoods are especially on-point.
Stay on the lookout for bus shelters featuring other neighborhoods, and street pole banners too.

Kevin, if its vowels you're after, why keep the E?

Checking the rest of Kevin's work I don't see any intentionally misspelled words. I wonder why nycgo wanted it that way.

Crappy... E is a vowel.

Queens Crapper said...

As I asked previously in a manner that apparently was not understood by the previous commenter, if it's vowels he's out to eliminate, why leave the E?
