A Sty Spy stopped at a red light on 14th Street and Avenue B snapped this photo of a Stuyvesant Town security officer running a red light. Unfortunately the photo doesn't show the officer laughing manically while hitting pedestrians.

Those pedestrians can't be laughing, they're too busy crossing against the RED light TOO !! (Hope Mom get's Junior across the street in time !)
In recent years I have regularly seen security vehicles go through red lights for no reason. Sometimes they actually turn on their faux-real police red lights before doing so, sometimes they don't bother. When my wife and I see them do that i always remark that TS must have just given them the name and location of another RS tenant who needs to be evicted immediately. They certainly don't respond that fast to calls from tenants.
Still absolute silence from the TA leadership as to a response to all that is going on. Keep up the good work, Luxie. You seem to have supplanted the TA in relevency!
Maybe the guys and gals who are the TA leadership are busy with their Thanksgiving preparations and families. It's a busy, busy time of the year. Hopefully, the forums will be up after the holidays? Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I am busy stuffing my turkey with pickled possum. It gives it that extra special aromatic flavor. Cranberries schmanberries.
'Security'...ha ha ..Just a bunch of thuggish shaved-head -------- who'd be imprisoned at Rikers (Prison for the newbie Market-Raters who know nothing about NYC) or working security at Key Food Supermarkets if their cousin Alfredo didnt network them in.
I never edit comments posted on the site but I won't tolerate racist remarks.
Nothing racist about calling a spade-a-spade. Security here is comprised of sheved-head Thuggish People from a certain Island from whence a disproportionate share of the population has come to New York to live off the welfare teat..
Clean enough for you closet-liberal racists out there?
I'd much rather talk about how nice the new layout looks ;) "Come see for yourself!"
Jim, don't make me get all Tenants Association on you and block your IP address.
The new layout is great, Luxie. Me and Beulette really like it. BTW, Jimjones, the Security staff comprises several different ethnicities, including caucasian so take your prejudices and keep them to yourself.
Lux, unless you work for a security agency (in which case you would be overstepping your legal rights and I would probably sue your Blogging ass) you cannot determine or block my IP address...So IP this..
BTW. Security is overwhelmingly from one scuzzy little island whose poulation comes here for welfare or to sell drugs on Avenue D...
Am I wrong pseudo-lberal Stuyvesant-Towners?
Your IP address is 207.237.128.3 and I am blocking it.
WTF is an IP address?
An IP address is like a phone number for your computer.
Unfortunately this Jim Jones didn't drink the poisoned kool-aid with the rest of his cult.
Jimmy is probably a TS employee or agent just trying to create havoc on this site.
By the way we LOVE the new layout, Luxie.
Thanks Ziggy,
Some time in the next few weeks we'll be upgrading the website to the newest Movable Type release. This will allow readers to sign up, create a profile, upload a photo/avatar. Readers will also be able to respond directly to other commenters on the site. We'll be adding a polling feature and rating system for my posts so you can yay or nay me. Then we plan on creating a forum, sort of like what the TA was doing but with a lot more features. We're going to add a Twitter feed too...we want to make the site more interactive and fun.
And I am always open to suggestions so let me know if there are features you would like to see on the site and I will see what I can do but making them happen.
Good going, Luxie! Because of folks like Jimjones, you can't buy white sheets without feeling embarrassed.
Anyway, has anybody else noticed a distinct absence of heat on this chilly day? Maybe TishSpy thinks that with all the tenants who will be cooking their Thanksgiving dinners or going out for their festive meal, no one will notice that there is no heat on in this darned place.
Luxie
The improvements sound like they will be very useful. Now if we could call a meeting of interested tenants to see if there are enough people willing to actually get things done, you really would be a hero.
Yeah Ziggy, No Justice No Peace. TA pussyfooting has done squat.
And, Luxie, this was funny:
>Jim, don't make me get all Tenants Association on you and block your IP address.
Beulah......no heat in our building for days now. Although it came on last night after 10:00 PM (at the time it's supposed to shut off), and blasted so much heat until around 3:00 AM, that we had to turn the a/c on. Now, of course, the heat is off again during the day when we could really use it.
Thanks Cassandra,
I'm certainly not going to be bullied in my own playground ;)
