Harold, Didn't NetNomads just get new doors? Nothing with the windows that I saw. I haven't noticed anything at Mr. Gus's, but I could have missed it. Surely some MOL'er will be by there today and can post. | ||

Harold- Netnomads changed the swing on their doors, thats all. | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 347 Registered: 5-2001 |
You bet. | ||

I just had the swing changed on my doors. People have never bothered me here, but the wind can be ferocious. It was yanking the doors right off steel hinges. They are still working on the doors (nothing is ever as simple as it sounds in theory) so if you see them working again today, please don't be alarmed. Also, now the little ones in my shop can't push their way out into the street. That eases my mind a lot. As to safety, I'm here all hours of the day and night and have never felt any concern. | ||

Thanks Deanne, but harold seems like the person that is going to go on believing what he wants....even as you the owner clarifies the matter and I was there the day the swing was being changed... I wonder if harold even knows where SA is? | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 348 Registered: 5-2001 |
"I wonder if Harold even knows where SA is ?" Now that was really stupid, I've probably been here longer than you. | ||
| Nohero Supporter Username: Nohero Post Number: 5029 Registered: 10-1999  |
Yes, you have, Harold. But I've been here even longer, and I know that you've been spouting the same old horse hockey* the entire time. *With props to Duncan Rogers re: use of "horse hockey" on MOL.  | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 349 Registered: 5-2001 |
So what? Deal with it. The hood is what it is. | ||
| wolfy Citizen Username: Locowolfy Post Number: 47 Registered: 10-2005 |
Deannel, I think an issue of safety regards the way the doors are supposed to swing!! Laws now require them to swing outward for fire safety to effect quick egress in case of fire! Please check this out with the building dept. and your insurer WOLFY. | ||
| deannel Citizen Username: Deannel Post Number: 166 Registered: 6-2001 |
They are all on the case, and thank you for your concern. | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 662 Registered: 10-2005 |
harold- I was trying to make a point via stupidity. Do you even know what a "hood", or even a rough neighborhood is? Trust me, SA/Hilton isn't it. Let me take you back to my old Brooklyn neighborhood sometime..... | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 350 Registered: 5-2001 |
Let me tell ya something pal, nobody cares about your old Brooklyn neighborhood, so spare me the lecture...... | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 664 Registered: 10-2005 |
harold- Well then stop lecturing us on your definitions of the "hood" and rash of crimes on SA that you seem to be the only one that knows about. You still don't believe what happened to the NetNomads doors even after the owner of the establishment tells you the deal. Do you want to take a guess on how that makes you look? horse hockey indeed.... -SLK | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 351 Registered: 5-2001 |
OOOHHHHH, "horse hockey" , another cutesy MOL slogan [you didn't give credit to Ducan]..... Rash of crimes on SA? Believe me, I'm not the only one who knows about them. | ||
| growler Citizen Username: Growler Post Number: 899 Registered: 11-2001 |
*sigh* Wrong again Harold. Why keep it up? | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 674 Registered: 10-2005 |
harold, Pardon my disrespect, but I inquired about you around town and the consensus is "you're one cranky old man..." I am done with this. You wouldn't know a bad hood if it bit you on the hiny... whenever I get mugged on SA (in Maplewood-it is one long road you know) or you decide to provide proof to your claims I will give you some kudos....until then..... | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 352 Registered: 5-2001 |
West-siders talking about the Hilton section.....hilarious. | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 676 Registered: 10-2005 |
Harold, Can I ask where you live? | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 353 Registered: 5-2001 |
Hilton----do you know where that is? | ||
| njphilf Citizen Username: Njphilf Post Number: 189 Registered: 4-2002 |
Although I applaud the efforts of the town to try and "spruce up" SA, the reality is that it all for naught. The days of Hy's Cheescake, Starks 5 & 10, Prospect Deli, Maplecrest Hardware, Blankens, Kahns, the Bakery near Hys'...need I go on. There's a reason why these great busnesses are gone.....to build 20+ hair salons on SA???? Funny, people sometimes called me a pessimist. The truth is that I'm a realist. Please see things for what they are. The majority of west-siders are clueless about the Hilton/Jacoby area. When the big fight over the KFC at Yale and SA was going on, people had no idea where this was. Certain individuals drive down Jacoby in the early morning and say that things do not look so bad there; they even considered riding there bike down there at night. My guess is they probably would be wearing their rose-colored glasses for obvious reasons. As I have stated before, if you live North of SA, especially around Maplewood Center, this is a wonderful town. Live South of SA, well....... godspeed. | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 678 Registered: 10-2005 |
harold- can you please give me some examples of crime you experienced in the Hilton section? | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 685 Registered: 10-2005 |
njphilf- You seem very knowledgable about Maplewood/SA and it is much appreciated. BUT: There are how many nail salons in Maplewood Center? Who was the economic Einstein behind this phenomena? I cannot speak for the Jacoby area since I don't live there and not even sure where it is (My family and I have been here for 9 mos.-is it near Boyden?). We live very close to Prospect St. and SA. I am just concerned that harold is talking about all these crimes occuring in our area of SA that no one else knows about. The fact that he cannot even take the owner of NetNomads word for why she had work performed on her store doors about sums it up. He also cannot provide proof for such crimes, but hey they exist!!! "Crime" is relative. If you think it is rough in the the Hilton section then wow....have I got some old Brooklyn neighbors I would like you to meet. And should I cry now because the West Siders don't know we exist? I get to take advantage of all that Maplewood has to offer at the fraction of their taxes. -SLK | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 354 Registered: 5-2001 |
Good point ,Njphilf, those great businesses are gone and replaced with "yuppie" stores that are always empty [wonder how long they are going to last]. We know the hair/nail shops will be around FOREVER. By the way, you've recently vacated the 'hood, can we assume white flight? [they're going to jump all over that last statement]. | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 688 Registered: 10-2005 |
harold- No, you want us to jump all over your last comment, but I won't.... So that is your beef, harold? Can't handle a couple more brown faces in your hood? -SLK | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 690 Registered: 10-2005 |
harold- and exactly what "Yuppie" stores are you talking about? And oh, I still am waiting for examples of crime in the hood. -SLK | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 355 Registered: 5-2001 |
Who said anything about brown faces but you? | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 691 Registered: 10-2005 |
harold- "white flight" has implications my friend...or are you to obtuse to realize that? -SLK | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 356 Registered: 5-2001 |
Question was for Njphilf. | ||
| bklyntonj Citizen Username: Bklyntonj Post Number: 590 Registered: 7-2003 |
Interesting you bring up "white flight" harold; If Maplewood is such a lovely town in decline, why aren't more whites fighting to regain its lovely state instead of leaving? | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 357 Registered: 5-2001 |
Please deny there was/is white flight in the Hilton section, and show your ignorance. | ||
| sac Supporter Username: Sac Post Number: 3121 Registered: 5-2001 |
Yes, Jacoby is near Boyden. I think there was more "white flight" about ten year ago. These days, I think we are seeing a reversal of that. | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 358 Registered: 5-2001 |
Yes, folks who can't afford the GOOD side of town relocate here | ||
| Ceidefields Citizen Username: Ceidefields Post Number: 37 Registered: 7-2005 |
Harold, there is no white flight in the Hilton section. In fact I would say the opposite is true. A large number of young families are moving in who don't want to spend 600k on a house. We've lived in the neighborhood for six years and never had a problem with crime. Our neighbors are wonderful and friendly, like most of the other folks I've gotten to know in Maplewood. So how is this the "bad" side of town? We're innately inclined to crime because we can't afford to pay a huge mortgage? | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 692 Registered: 10-2005 |
harold- the good side of town means you pay astronomical taxes too? Listen, my parents pulled a white flight 30 years ago from an upstate NY city so I know all about about it and what drove us away. The Hilton section isn't even close to that. My wife and 2 year old son walk all over our neighborhood during all times of the day/night w/o any problems. Take her word for it. She is a social worker who at one time went in the worst neighborhoods in Brooklyn. I bet you she can tell you some stories. Housing Prices in Hilton has surpassed the 300k mark. Many NYers like my family with newborns/1/2 years old looking for peacer and quiet, more space and better schools are moving in....the RE agent who sold us this house says the Hilton section is the beast value going right now....he is in fact is selling 2 other houses on the street.... My neighbors are friendly and the kids are all polite.... Harold-ONE MORE TIME.....can you please provide specific examples of the rash of crimes in Hilton? bklyntonj-can you please elaborate...? -SLK | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 697 Registered: 10-2005 |
silence...no surprise here... | ||

Screowtus, possibly I was out shoveling? Will reply later. | ||

oh, ok, did you duck all the bullets and make sure not to throw snow on the crack dealers? | ||
| harold Citizen Username: Harold Post Number: 360 Registered: 5-2001 |
Your friends in town? | ||
| Scrotis Lo Knows Citizen Username: Scrotisloknows Post Number: 710 Registered: 10-2005 |
Yup, and I showed them your crib so you better be a good boy now.... so Harold, I am still waiting.... |
