INBOX: Crown Heights Chronicles – The Soap Opera Unfolding in Our Backyard
Well, well, well, folks, gather ’round for the latest episode of “As the Crown Heights Turns.” Our beloved community is currently starring in its very own sitcom, and it’s turning our home sweet home into a punchline. Let me give you the lowdown on the drama that’s been unfolding.
Remember those Sunday dollars at 770? Yeah, now it’s like a comedy show during setup. Forget the heartwarming vibes; we’ve upgraded to a full-blown parody of our own History. Cue the laughter, but not the joyous kind – more like a sitcom’s laugh track playing on repeat. It’s like we’re auditioning for a sitcom, but no one told us it was supposed to be a comedy.
And as if that weren’t enough, our famous tunnels decided to make headlines. Not for anything cool or awe-inspiring, mind you, but for some less-than-stellar incidents. Fast forward to this week, throw in a couple of fights, and voila – we’re now the stars of every Jewish news channel. Move over Hollywood, Crown Heights is the new hotspot for drama.
But wait, there’s more! Our community is like a dysfunctional family sitcom, complete with quirky characters and plot twists. Instead of addressing our issues with genuine conversations, let’s just add a laugh track and call it a day. Who needs warm and fuzzy feelings when you can have a front-row seat to our own little comedy show?
So, dear residents of Crown Heights, grab your popcorn and settle in for the spectacle. Our community may be the latest sitcom on the block, but who needs unity and understanding when you can have a good laugh at your own expense? After all, laughter is the best medicine, right? Or is it just a way to cover up the chaos in our own backyard? Stay tuned for the next episode of “Crown Heights Chronicles” – where the laughter never stops, and the punchlines keep coming.

It’s a look in the mirror. And we don’t exactly like what we see.

Kol Hakavod to this author (who ever it is).
Reading this has boosted my mood because it brings the neighborhoods distinction into a very realistic and tangible manner that the poshiter folks can understand and relate to.
There may be hope for us if more of us think and act like this author!

Not a “soap opera”.
An insane asylum run by the inmates.
The whole world “out there” is crazy. We are the normal ones.
And the more insane it gets, the greater our quench for insanity.
Sanity is mocked. Insanity is embraced.
And the few exceptional people among us are left confused.
If you disagree, I will take you to court. And what do you know anyway?
I am right. Everyone else is wrong
