Seen At 2nd & Warren. Oh, The IMPROVEMENTS! Oh, The Revitalization! Oh, The Downtown To Be So Proud Of!

If you need evidence of a city in full-fledged failure and money-hemorrhaging mode, take a walk over to 2nd & Warren and observe the recent DRI improvements at your feet.  The liquid goo spreading on the new stone "plazas" for the past few weeks from both public trash cans on the south side say it all, don't they?  "Welcome to your once-neglected, now-improved downtown westside commercial district.  We don't care about you.  All we ask is that you pay your property taxes and parking tickets on time and use the public trash cans for your litter.  Otherwise, piss off!  And don't even think of calling Rob Perry.  He doesn't work from City Hall and he doesn't want to hear from you.  Have a great day.  But piss off anyway!" 

Hail To The Chiefs!

What is essentially a wooden utility pole is used to display the American flag in front of the Hudson Police Department and City Court building at 701 Union Street.  Is Police Chief Mishanda Franklin proud of this?  Was Ed Moore proud of the National Grid utility flagpole look, too?  Was the pole installed with the flag in mind, or did it just happen to be there in 2017 when HPD and the City Court moved in, bringing their American flag with them from Warren Street?

It's not flag desecration, but it's pretty close, isn't it?

Yet Another Sidewalk Narrowed In Half By A Plywood Box, The Latest Trend On Warren Street! Welcome To New York's Most Walkable and Friendly City!

 

For how many months or years will this new LOVELY PAINTED PLYWOOD PEDESTRIAN OBSTRUCTION stick around, do you suppose?  As long as the property owner wants it to remain?  And, like the nearly identical lovely plywood building extension sidewalk obstruction two blocks east, what is this one's purpose?   To cover the graffiti that got the city so much national attention?  Did this box get approval from the city?  Does it even need approval?  Does anyone need approval to block a portion of a sidewalk with a plywood box extending from a building? 

And It Happens ALL THE TIME!!!!

Talk about a disaster in the making!

Correction: This Is Margaret Morris' New Driveway AND Parking Area!
