On the Sofa: GL Reader Comments

September 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

Here are a few comments left by GL readers during the past week:

Noo! Park Slope Maggie Moo’s Closes. “Possibly, Maggie Moo’s closed there because their ice cream is terrible. Now if only someone could do something about the laundromat at 7th Ave and 1st St. that has seen new dryers sitting in the middle of the room, unconnected, since February as the rest of the place goes to seed.” [Benjamin Kabak]

New Look Gowanus Will Not Be Like the Old One. “you people need to move back to your parents trailer in ohio. new york is about change. live here ten years and you’ll realize this. it’s what defines nyc. change.” [Anonymous]

Artists Evicting Tenants in Prospect Heights. “I would ask Gowanus Lounge to enlighten us as to what rights they believe the owner of a building should have. Clearly the idea of an owner wanting to live in his or her building is just beyond the pale.” [Anonymous]

The Most Disgusting Gowanus Photo Ever. “Problems with garbage trucks in Gowanus? Get outta town! Last week I was riding my bicycle on the bikepath headed south on 3rd avenue when I heard a loud honking behind me. It was a private sanitation truck trying to pass traffic on the right by driving on the bikepath. When I finally just stopped in the middle of the bike path, they pulled back into traffic, slopping gallons of foul smelling liquid out the back every time the truck hit a bump.” [Anonymous]
