    Once again, we’re stuck here. From previous experience, we can’t get in & we can’t get out. It’s our own annual ghetto.

  • FRUSTRATED!!!

    WHY IS THIS PARADE STILL IN CROWN HEIGHTS??? WHY IS IT NOT IN MANHATTAN LIKE ALL THE OTHERS????

  • Get Real ARE YOU SERIOUS????

    ur comparing closing down 10 blocks to closing down a whole community and its surroundings??? even our schools are closed down for the day – its “lock down” here for a day. so yes GET REAL!!!!

    If you live here can you get in? or is it completely shut down?
    If yes what kind of proof of address do you need?

    Re #1 and #2: Wow, you must have pretty sad lives if the only thing you can do is complain about a parade. If it is really that bad, maybe it is time for you to move to a place where everyone looks and thinks like you? I have no idea of where that would be, so good luck!
