Paging Joe Moretti...


This delightful tableau was spotted this evening at the corner of Prince St. And 37th Avenue in downtown Flooshing. The surrounding neighborhood is filthy and has an extremly creepy vibe!

Regards,

Flooshing Rezident

Those small store shopping bags are being used all the time on garbage pick-up day on my block in North Flushing. Are they allowed to be used or are specific bags and or garbage cans required ?

Those are Flushing holiday decorations, you fool.

Cut down that tree. We need more room to drop our trash.

Shit, we need to have a contest: Jamaica versus Flushing, the battle for garbage heap of Queens.

See, that's the difference between Flushing and Jamaica: in Jamaica, garbage is thrown everywhere in a haphazard manner, while in Flushing the garbage is dumped neatly.

The sanitation men hate when people put their trash out in ten small store bags instead of one large Hefty bag (or one large garbage can), because it takes longer (and more effort) to pick them up. And, of course, the wind can blow them around.

The difference between Jamaica and Flushing? They bag the crap in the latter. One step up the evolutionary ladder?

You white Americans are really a bit much. Just shut up and keep paying your taxes so us immigrants can have more babies.

Chinese sure do love their red shopping bags.

Jesus, even as something as mundane as shopping bags have have backwards superstitions tied to them.

Things like this show at the current level of "welcoming" new immigrants to the United States, New York City, and Queens in particular, there's no assimilation happening - it's an anti-assimilation. Where they came from garbage is dumped anywhere and anytime. So Flushing comes to resemble a slum of Mexico City, Shanghai, or Mumbai. The children growing up in these neighborhoods have never experienced and will never live in a Flushing that doesn't have garbage everywhere. They will come to complain about it as that is the one American custom they will learn.

How times have changed since my childhood days in the 1960's.
I grew up in Richmond Hill and my immigrant grandparents had me wash the stoop and sidewalk with the garden hose. Made our block clean and I made a few shekels too.
