while i’m always happy that a real new business is coming into the neighborhood (as opposed to another tourist gift shop or illegal dispensary), i don’t know if they can sway me from leo’s. i’m a loyal girl — emily on Ess-a-Bagel coming to Fidi

I like my pumpernickel with cream cheese and tomatoes! 😉 — AmySG on Ess-a-Bagel coming to Fidi

Hi Tribeca Citizen, Please change your date for kids parade to October 27th. I just noticed Sept 27. Thanks for all your great articles . — Native on What’s doing for Halloween

Why does Blood Manor get to barricade off the entire block between Leonard and Franklin plus use a portion of Leonard street for their ticket trailer for 5-6 weeks each year. They are only open evenings 3-4 days a week but have the street blocked 24 hours a day. DSNY quickly dismisses any complaints, hmmm. Wonder why??? How does one little store front get free use of an entire city block and disrupt street access for all the other buildings on the block? — Trimom on What’s doing for Halloween

I have pictures I took of Victory Chimes in 1960, in Brooklin, ME. Lots of water under her keel (and mine) since then. — Ray Mansfield on Nosy Neighbor: What’s the story with the ship docked at Pier 25?

This is a discussion that could dribble on endlessly and we don't want that. So with respect, a few quick points: Your dissatisfaction with the odor of cannabis is recognized. It is pungent and strong. Bad smells all over the city. It's a problem. I hear you. But the only way to avoid the bad smells that come with a concentrated population is to separate yourself from it. Some people really like cities, some really like suburban, exurban, and rural locales. But why take it out on the shop? Legal dispensaries truly run a gauntlet of restrictions and regulations in order to open. They've put in the hard work to get to that point. They've done things according to law and should be acknowledged for doing so. It's a legit business like any other. I'm with you on lax enforcement about open use of cannabis. There are regulations and people are not following them all the time. But there aren't enough hours in the day to list all the ways in which people don't follow all of the city's rules when they aren't being enforced, from littering to driving infractions, and on and on. The smell of cannabis happens to get under your skin, and your complaint is understood. But it's just that. Please go on railing to the extent it satisfies you, but I suspect your protest is a whisper in the scheme of things. Life in a city isn't as easily controllable as life in remote locales. Good luck. — mulciber on Cannabis store coming to Broadway and Murray?

I'd rather have donut shops than weed shops. Compared to marijuana, there are negligible second-hand effects of donut connoisseurship. If we must have weed shops, at least there should be serious restrictions (and enforcement of those) on where it can be smoked. Those who refrain from this activity should not have to breathe second-hand smoke. That smoke seems to carry much more than cigarette smoke, for example. As is, it's impossible to even enjoy our rare, small green spaces in the neighborhood without being forced to inhale that vile skunk smoke. People smoke in front of our apartment building and it gets into our apartments, even with windows closed. Instant headache. (And supposedly smoking is banned in the parks, but apparently enforcement of such rules is as lax as enforcement of other rules and regulations in the city, such as driving laws). See, for example: "Cannabis and Secondhand Smoke" https://www.cdc.gov/cannabis/health-effects/secondhand-smoke.html — Marcus on Cannabis store coming to Broadway and Murray?

oh no! my heartfelt sympathy to you all at Tre Sorelle — Madeline Lanciani on Fire shuts down Tre Sorelle

There's a new Dunkin Donuts up the block from me. I've honestly never seen anyone in it. There are FIFTEEN (15) Dunkin Donuts shops in Tribeca, all within walking distance of one another. No one needs this. You've got your work cut out for you, friend. — mulciber on Cannabis store coming to Broadway and Murray?

Then don't go. Cannabis is legal in NY and many other states. It never should have been illegal as that ruined many lives through punitive enforcement. If you are still railing about pot, you are on the losing end of the issue. Go tilt against windmills like Trump... — Michael T on Cannabis store coming to Broadway and Murray?

Yeah, I spotted that. I mean, I'm not endorsing it, but it's kind of an impressive feat, in terms of sheer idiotic daring. But yeah ... it already looked bad, and that flourish doesn't help. What's up with the crane? I frequently see it pointing in different directions -- that can't be the result of the wind, can it? — Alex in NYC on The Dinosaurs of Tribeca: Unfinished buildings and abandoned lots

Yes. The Community Board uses the reports as evidence when they take a complaint directly to an agency head. — Tribeca Citizen on Nosy Neighbor: Can we get the graffiti cleaned up on the post office?
