Once Again – Police Prohibit Vending Around 770
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – One of the staples of Tishrai is the seemingly impossible task of navigating the sidewalks around 770, thanks to the marketplace it becomes. The police have put an end to it as they have done last year, citing security concerns.
Residents hailed the decision, saying that the whole environment was extremely disrespectful, with people selling the four minim along with a variety of other items ranging from electronics to candy, creating pedestrian traffic along with safety hazards.
Police told booth keepers to pack their wares up and not to sell on the 770 sidewalks anymore, and signs were posted in Hebrew and in English stating the new rules.

NU, now where am I going sell my beautiful esrogs?
Herassment
Are they going to do the same thing on in Boropark and williamsberg? I Think it wrong to herass the poor venders and will cause us to buy at hier prices at stores. Although Protecting a large internatoinal hub is never e-z.
ambiance
glad for this. the place looked like a bazaar. disrespectful. not everything that is necessary or useful needs to be done in or around 770 – a place for prayer, introspection and learning. people need to learn about appropriate borders.
getting there...
i agree. and im very impessed with the new mechitzah thing too – finally 770 is becoming a more respectful place to be. now what about the insides? suitcases….food….garbage….what would the rebbe say to this?
