Paper and food no longer sprawled across the streets, and the smell of urine was gone from the block of Nostrand Avenue between Ave H and Flatbush Avenue. The large parking lot on Ave H no longer had the twirling gusts of Plastic bags floating through it. In general, I actual was happy to shop on Flatbush Avenue again. But this improvement seems to have been sort lived. As if timed perfectly for the beginning the the Democratic challengers get together in Midtown last week, the sanitation department have taken the week off again in it's street cleanup at the Junction.
Garbage is all over the place again.
It is piled up at behind store fronts, and Ave H, down Hillel Street and in the Train Station. If not for the City Buses, you would not know there was a municipal presence at all on the intersection. Boxes are piled chest high on the LIRR overpass again and there is not a single sanitation worker in sight. Is this a preview of the upcoming election season. I hope not.
