I've had several incidents with car...Unbelievable. I've had several incidents with cars, car services, random jerks trying to park at the hydrant while my dog is "curbing." I've given each and every one of them a verbal lashing that will leave scars for years. If I'd had a child and this happened, I'd be typing from a jail cell. I've also contacted Marty Markowitz and my local police precinct about cars parking at hydrants (a bit off topic). I don't care if you can more your car, I don't want to wait the precious seconds while you do when my apartment is burning down!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289491346074430757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488423742663364242.post-77898683692135749902009-05-25T17:57:11.019-04:002009-05-25T17:57:11.019-04:00Glad to hear you and your little guys are ok!

I agree that something...What a terrifying incident! I agree that something needs to be done about the car service culture in SP; I'm constantly seeing them pull all kinds of crazily illegal and idiotic moves. <br /><br />Unrelatedly, I'm on the Steering Committee for SPDOG, which is the <A HREF="http://sunsetbark.wordpress.com" REL="nofollow">Sunset Park Dog Owners Group</A>, and I'd love to have an email conversation with you about hopefully maybe putting an upcoming public hearing (visit our site to learn more) on your calendar for the proposed (and long overdue!) dog run for Sunset Park. <br /><br />I'd love to get it mentioned here at BViB - I've long relied on your site as one of the few reliable and interesting blogs about the neighborhood! I don't see a contact button anywhere on the site; would you mind shooting me a quick email at sunsetbark at gmail? We even have a JPG of our flyer if you want to put it up - we could really use the help and the publicity and it's a great, great cause!<br /><br />Thanks, and glad you and the tots are safe!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13277684834303607276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488423742663364242.post-75609630511502978402009-05-22T17:00:28.932-04:002009-05-22T17:00:28.932-04:00Dear god SPB, have you finally had your moment of ...Dear god SPB, have you finally had your moment of enlighenment? By all means, get out there NOW while you're still angry enough and paint that crosswalk! Take plenty o' photos, and post 'em. While it's unlikely to control the lunatic driving in SP, it'll certainly help liberate you from the corrosive psychological effects of city living. Seriously. You'll be amazed at what a little direct action can accomplish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488423742663364242.post-26647210508163060702009-05-22T13:21:41.192-04:002009-05-22T13:21:41.192-04:00Petition signed.

Like you I have a habit of looking both ways no matter what. I didn't see any vehicles traveling down this one way street so I started to cross but as I stepped out of the street and started to look the other way a car was driving up this one way street in the wrong direction. The driver of the car didn't even panic nor showed any guilt of his wrong doing. He looked at me like I wasn't suppose to cross the street without looking. I thought he could be a city employee of some sort in an unmarked car. He didn't even honk to warn me that he's coming up in the wrong direction.McSquarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12402932934977887867noreply@blogger.com
