Do read the words that accompany this photo, which is titled “Ikea Madness”:
ok, so i HAD to go to the opening of the brooklyn ikea. got there on the b61, my usual bus home. this time i stayed on to the end. it dropped you off right at the front door, into the mouth of madness!!! so many people! ushered up 2 flights into showroom hell, i couldn’t wait to get down to the ‘self service’ section. i had ideas that i’d get a cutting board, some bowl, knives, maybe sheets…. but it was packed. kids running amuck, shopping carts SLOWLY pushed around. couldn’t stand it! found a sales associate, and asked for the quickest way out.
Yes, “the mouth of madness.”

If I ever enter the store, I doubt I’ll ever buy anything. BUT: he esplanade out back if unbelievably gorgeous, and a great extra link to an early morning jog.

we’re not all lucky enough to still have our wire spool coffee table and concrete block bookshelves. Everybody bleats about green ways, mixed use, bike paths, low income housing, and other utopian claptrap but this is all a smoke screen for keeping Red Hook the same and keeping people out. Now that IKEA is here you fall all over each other dissing the quality and design. I guess IKEA’s sinister marketing campaign keeps the masses coming back. The fact that the first poster knows what a duvet cover is says volumes about the kind of trustfunded underemployed time on their hands layabouts who continue to whine about progress.
