When we last checked in on the biggest Halal Cart Story of 2014 on Jan. 1, the proprietor decided to move his operation about 50 feet down East Second Street from the southeast corner of Avenue A.
However, we didn't spot the cart again with the snowstorm of Jan. 2/Jan 3 … followed by those frigid temps … perhaps sitting this weather out?
Not so!
One of the residents who had been unhappy with the cart's arrival in late December said that he had a long talk with the proprietor on Jan. 1… and he said that the cart would be moving toward Second Avenue…
We haven't spotted it again… In any event, the cart won't be returning to Avenue A and East Second Street… which is likely a good thing — seems as if a civil cart war was brewing among various residents...
As you may recall, a few neighbors had complained of noise, exhaust fumes, dumped ashes and a blocked sidewalk, among other things…

Controversial halal food cart on Avenue A moves … a few feet around the corner
As a handwriting analyst, I can tell you that writing was definitely done by a white suburban yuppie.
ReplyDeleteI bet 10 bucks the yuppies who complained about the Halal cart move back to Idaho withhin 6 months, where the only annoying thing to complain about is that you are stuck living in Idaho.
ReplyDeleteNow, can we make this a bank-free corner?

I feel like this is a one-man campaign against the Halal cart. I mean sure, possibly this guy's neighbors half-heartedly said "I guess the Halal truck is a bit stinky" after he cornered them in their apartment lobby, frothing at the mouth in an anti-falafel tirade, but that's because they wanted to get away. I don't believe that anyone other than this 25YO angry man really cares all that much. And he certainly has the right to complain, but I really dislike when anonymous people print up flyers speaking on behalf of MANAGEMENT and RESIDENTS. It's clearly just you, dude.
ReplyDeleteWell I can tell you more than one or two business owners as well as a number of residents would in fact like to see the truck from E 11 disappear
ReplyDelete3:27, that is exactly the kind of half-assy, vague statement I object to. "One or two," "a number of"? "Well you can tell" me NOTHING, absolute jack diddley.
ReplyDeleteYou only prove my point, that this anti-Halal campaign is one angry person and you couldn't gather a crowd if you tried. Stop it. We get it, you hate falafel. Leave this Halal cart guy alone and eat your, I don't know, mayonnaise sandwiches? in peace.
Ah yes, white people complaining about white people and a lack of diversity.
ReplyDelete3:27, who the tile guys? The consignment shop came way after the cart there and the skate shop likes the Halal guys. There are far better causes to take on, this Halal thing is weird. Move 60 north man, "sixty north"-the new tshirt saying, or band name.
ReplyDeleteComplaining about my fellow white people and the silly things they do is the story of my life. Stop embarrassing the rest of us and I'll stop complaining.
ReplyDeleteWhite people sitting around together complaining about a lack of diversity is the epitome of embarrassing. White person #1 to white people #2-#5, "this Girls poster is too white".
ReplyDeleteDiversity can be awesome, freaking live it!
Only white people use words like "diversity." So I think you're a pot calling the kettle … ofay. OK?
ReplyDeleteTruth be told a 24 hour food truck in the street is an affront to all area businesses and residents. Individuals spend time, money and in some cases lifetimes in order to establish what it is that they're looking for, you know- the old American way. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For a food truck to come along and take up residence 24hours a day without having to pay property tax and taking away services such as parking and quality of life is without justification. The city should step in and as is the case with most activities should zone areas for such use. A residential district where people need a quality environment is not met by having a truck in the street catering to the late night bar crowd.
