Breaking News: Bushwicker Cleans Up Own Mess
I was watching it snow out the front windows today when I saw a sight that shocked me: a woman’s dog crapped in my tree pit, and the woman cleaned it up. She even struggled a little with the bag she brought, but that didn’t deter her — she was picking up that turd, and no feisty bag was gonna stop her. I watched in awe as she bent down and did what responsible adult people do. I wanted to open the window and thank her, but that would have probably been a bit creepy.

That reminds me, it might just be cyclical, or too cold, or something…but in the last few weeks I have noticed a major decline in doggie bombs on the the MH park stretch of Starr St.
Or am i just missing it?!

The poop & general trash on the sidewalks in Bushwick (we’re near myrtle & broadway) are horrible. Maybe if there were more public trashcans people would be better about picking the shit up. Of course, I just toss it in an open trashcan I walk by … that is better than leaving it on the sidewalk, right? PS: My dog tends to curb himself in tree pits. If it was me, I wouldn’t have thought you creepy!

again, another case of thinly-veiled racism. i’m going to assume by “bushwicker” you mean a person of color, as i doubt this would be breaking news if it was an educated white kid trying to cut it in the “hood” - and why exactly is it breaking news? is the idea that someone beneath all you white kids could actually be educated in manners really so shocking?

wtf, get a hold of yourself. It’s breaking news because NOBODY picks up after their dogs or even themselves, as evidenced by Bushwick’s outrageously and notoriously filthy sidewalks. Your highly assumptive “analysis” is so wrong I don’t even know where to start. So just shove your indignation up your ass you stupid cunt.

Nice mature reply, Jeremy. You , my friend are the cunt. Jeremy is a yuppie, hipster, racist cunt who can’t stand himself. I’m the same way so I empathize. Sucks being better than everyone else.
I don’t really think the comment was thinly veiled racism. This place is filthy. If I had a dog, I would not bother to clean it up either.
On second thought wtf is a cunt. Y’all should hang out together. I’ll take you out for espressos at Archive, or is that too white an activity?
OK, espressos at Fortunata’s. They know how to make it right there. I mean they are real greaseballs so they ought to right? Cement, espressos, pizza. I mean they are mafia right, cause they are Italian. Thats what J said.

The folks at Fortunata’s are complete racists. My mom and I stood on line to order a cake for her 60th birthday party. The counter girl looked right past my 5′9″ black ass and assisted the barely 5′4″ white male directly behind me. My mom, who lived through this kind of crap as an every day occurance as a child was shocked and mortified. I kindly took my business to Circo’s on Knickerbocker where my order was happily taken.
