This appeared in City and State yesterday morning:
"9:30 a.m. – New York City Councilman Daniel Dromm and state Sen. Jose Peralta call on Starbucks to clean up their garbage, in front of Starbucks, 37th Avenue and 79th Street, Queens."
Here is some of the press coverage:
Local Starbucks Dumps Trash Near Apartment Buildings, Residents Say
Pol, residents call on Jackson Heights Starbucks to clean up its garbage
(You'll notice Peralta didn't show up.)
I received this e-mail:
"This is a freaking joke. Of all the trash in Queens, this is where they start? I go to this Starbucks. I honestly don't see what the big deal is, and I'm not saying this to defend Starbucks. Meanwhile, Peralta
lobbied for the Starbucks to come to Jackson Heights in the first place!"
Oh damn!

The ENTIRE CITY has been buried in snow and garbage for most of this wicked winter. I have never seen our sidewalks, streets and highways so filthy!! Dromm is a jerk for singling out Starbucks! He needs to walk around the block and see the disgraceful condition of the rest of his district.....
You have it hand it to Dromm and Van Bramer. They are always out there in their districts doing something. I constantly see them in the papers and on TV, practically everyday. Can't say that for the rest of our electeds in Queens....Think about it.
This is some of the neatest garbage I've ever seen.
Come to shithole downtown Flooshing for some real garbage!
Go after some of the disgusting ethnic restaurants that basically hire illegal slaves instead of an American corporation that provides health care for its employees.
Never happen - wouldn't be politically correct. Our pols are such assholes - always playing it safe, never tackling the real issues.
I guess their constituents don't have any issues and they have nothing better to do.
They are always out there in their districts doing something
Lots of heat, little light.

This is a joke, Right?
Danny must not walk on 74th Street between Roosevelt and 37th Avenue (the Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi enclave) that much.
He doesn't notice the garbage there?
Oh, I forgot, you're not supposed to notice the bad habits of the "vibrants".
Plus, you can't shake down the "vibrants" the way you can shake down Starbucks. A page out of the Jackson/Sharpton playbook!
Dromm is the poster boy for Garbage.
Cultural Marxism.
Why doesn't Dromm and Crowley go on 74th Street between Roosevelt & 37th Avenue - it has been a pig place for years and he is well aware of it -- those businesses never clean-up at all -- they have been given tickets and they do not give a damm -- a third-world country over there -- just horrible
Well, if you want to see fucking garbage, no better place to come than Jamaica.
Hell, I wish our garbage looked like that.
I saw a duh-doy Dunkin' Donuts employee dump a bucket of liquid to the ground in front of the entrance rather than onto the curb, making customers track the liquid back into store. Whether it's the piss-quality Dunkin' Donuts coffee or the toilet water remains a mystery.
A Danny Dromm Photo-op, nothing more...
