Please let me know when it will be opened for business.

If persons get up and speak during the open comments parts of the the community meetings, then it will make (at least) the local papers. Work with one of the existing community orgs and draft a letter to PS 1 and see what their response is. Contact the parent organization (MOMA). Make an effort to arrange a meeting to speak with the powers that be in MOMA. The board of directors should listen. Not for profit organizations serving alcohol can be a sticky situation; enough to make those on the board listen. If their organization or any actions by that organization should prove to be detrimental in any way to the neighborhood it’s in, might likely jeopardize their licenses and possibly even their Non- Profit status.

If everyone who feels this way and who would like to see this situation resolved; you’ll have to keep at it. Don’t give up. I know how hard these things can be to resolve, as I’ve put in thousands of hours of volunteer/community work.

Young intoxicated people, especially in groups, can be very disruptive, and even dangerous. It’s in the community’s best interests to tackle this probem, before someone gets seriously hurt or (most hopefully not) killed.

I hope for the community’s sake, that those concerned get active. Good luck

If the city can flood the streets with cops for parades, street fairs, fireworks displays or antiwar marches attended by mostly law-abiding and not intoxicated people, then you would think an event that attracts a mob of spoiled drunk kids looking for trouble would get at least one or two cop from our precinct on the the street.

You can file an official complaint with the State Liquor Authority, write to the District Attorney’s office, flood the 108th with calls whenever these problems arise. Go en masse to the 108th Community Council & CB2 meetings. Everytime you see a cop on the street; stop him or her and complain. Get a neighborhood petition going. Contact all of the city and state representatives. Organize, organize, organize!! Hey, it’s not like this is rocket science!

This should have been nipped in the bud, long ago. Like I’ve always said; if you do nothing, you’ll get nothing, nor will you solve anything.

Now, let’s see who will be the first to attack and insult me. If you can’t discuss this rationally, then don’t bother posting.

Water Taxi Beach is a unique and good place (in theory). You want to get rid of the problem, not the business itself. A large gathering of those concerned (preferably as an organization because that carries more weight, than a bunch of individuals) should go down and speak to the owner in person. It would help if you go with realistic suggestions. That might help to get the ball rolling. It’s always best to work with cooperation, than to go up against resistance.

By the way, the Crabhouse is an institution, and they’ve been serving up good food and good atmosphere, for a long time.

Is it all of the above, or none of the above? Is it some of the above, and/or other factors?

Anyone know for sure?

They are selecting companies in double houses (meaning Engine & Ladder Co) so as to not use the term “closing firehouses”. They think the average citizen is an ignorant moron and will not care that the company is gone because technically there are “firemen in the firehouse”.
The city wont confirm it at this time but please get the word out so on June 1st, the community is organized and it doesn’t come as a surprise.
