Slope Residents Hold Anti-Chicken Meeting: Are you clucking serious?!

If you’ve recently questioned your sanity after thinking you may OR MAY NOT have seen “chicken meeting” flyers and other anti-chicken/rat propaganda posted around the hood, stop rubbing your eyes in disbelief. You are not hallucinating. 

A community garden in the Slope recently brought 8 new chickens into their urban coop, and some peeps are pretty pissed about it -- 160 to be exact. This is the number of people who signed a petition citing concern about noise and the attraction of rats to the garden, which was the magic number for a rep from the local city council to hold a Chicken Meeting to resolve the issue.

Last Friday I dropped by Associated Market on 5th Ave. My mission was simple: buy toilet paper.

As the cashier checks me out, loud bells ring and colorful balloons pour from the ceiling.  A man in a sharp suit emerges holding a giant check as an eager reporter bobs a microphone in a shocked man’s face. The cameras roll. “Congratulations sir," the man in the suit says. "You’re our millionth customer! You just won $50,000.00!” 

As they whisk him away, a woman starts yelling about how the man cut her in line and she’s entitled to the winnings. They tell her to take it up with the manager and ignore her as she storms out in a fury. Her acting was poor though, so I start to think I'm in the midst of an Improv Everywhere skit. At the very least, this was a familiar scene I'd viewed on that show What Would You Do? I ask the cashier what the deal is and she gives me an awkward smile. She can’t say anything.
