Comments on: Another reason to avoid Manhattan http://www.queenscentral.com/2007/06/20/another-reason-not-to-go-to-manhattan/ Rego Park, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Briarwood Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:24:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: GETMEOUTTAHERE http://www.queenscentral.com/2007/06/20/another-reason-not-to-go-to-manhattan/#comment-5856 GETMEOUTTAHERE Tue, 27 Nov 2007 20:53:22 +0000 http://www.queenscentral.com/2007/06/20/another-reason-not-to-go-to-manhattan/#comment-5856 Build it and they will come, but where in the hell will they park? My guess is that they will spend an a goodly amount of time zooming up and down our side streets looking for free parking. So once again lets hear it for the brain dead local politicians who approve these projects without any thought or input from the locals that live here. Perhaps voters should insist that their legislators actually live in the neighborhoods that they supposedly represent. Must be real easy for these rich developers to seduce the local politicos over a fancy lunch especially since none of them live here. And what’s up with these stores that have both their front signs and food products labeled only in Cyrillic? Didn’t Elmhurst go thru the same thing concerning both store signs and product labeling in Chinese? Just how are the emergency service people going to get to a place whose only storefront sign is in another language? We are after all still living in America, aren’t we? Perhaps its time for “the boroughs” to think about a return to a two or three party system. And wouldn’t be nice if our moronic local TV news stations actually covered something out here besides murder, fires, teenage racists, and traffic accidents?
