Union Street Is A Cesspool, And It's Obvs The Food Coop's Fault
(duh, this pic is so NOT Union Street)
Or not.
We really can't be sure.
But Ingrasir is wondering the same exact fucking thing:
Why is Union Street always covered in garbage? Both sides of the street feature strewn about trash every day... Is it the co-op? Spillover from the Tea Lounge? Bussacco? Scottaditto? Who do you complain to in order to get it cleaned?!?!?!?!
There is a long and spirited discussion regarding this ish on Brooklynian, but our FAVE response comes from Carmen:
Everyone who is complaining itt needs to move to bedstuy. Until you have used condoms wrangled up with chicken bones and tumbleweave rolling across your stoop on the reg, no bitching allowed.
On the reg!? Totally fucking brilliant.
Bravo, Carmen (and also pick up your fucking trash, people. I live on Union Street and Oliver ends up eating all the shit that you mofos strew all over the place. Then I gotta go fishing it outta his mouth, and its pretty damn revolting. Like CHICKEN BONES! Where the FUCK do all those chicken bones out on the street come from!? Cause we got em here....not just in Bed Stuy).

what! this is so weirdly racist
i was referring to carmen's post btw
What in the world is racist about saying pick up your trash? It's gross and just brings the value of a neighborhood way down.
The chicken bones come from people of Latin and African descent. I don't know if I've ever seen a honky poundin wings and tossing the bones on the ground, esp in PS. Then again, I don't know if I've ever seen a black or latino in PS either.
Do they use condoms to fuck chickens in Bed-Sty? Does that make is safer? I never thought to do that.
I am so incredibly with you on the chicken bones. My dog probably eats 2-3 chicken bones a day in Park Slope. It's unreal.
When I lived in Flatbush, there were tons of jerk chicken wings laying around on the sidewalk every day. My dog loved it! I always hated sticking my hand in his mouth to fight him for a nasty pre-eaten wing.
It's so gross. It's amazing how disgusting some people are.
I know for a fact that a ton of chicken bones are from Hunan Delight, the chinese place on 6th. Almost every morning I have to make my way through the mounds of chicken carcass spewing from their poorly secured trash bags...Complained several times. sometimes work mostly not.
