Pretty much every part of Brooklyn where you can commute to Manhattan in under an hour has been infested.<br /><br />The yunnies really only affect about two thirds of Manhattan and about a quarter of Brooklyn, maybe one or two places in Queens, so you can look at this philosophically and say that most of the city has been untouched. We still have Staten Island! But they are pretty much occupying the center of the city. You can't avoid the center of the city forever.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-79122579728418674092009-09-29T17:48:16.374-04:002009-09-29T17:48:16.374-04:00By the way, Brooklyn is enormous.

It's mis represented. <br /><br />Bloomberg can shove his "Fuggedabout" sign. Hipsters don't talk like that anyway. They should just fly the california flag to represent their valley talk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-51762169885576903132009-09-29T17:46:15.229-04:002009-09-29T17:46:15.229-04:00MANY, MANY Manhattanites and some Brooklynites are...MANY, MANY Manhattanites and some Brooklynites are BIG TIME WOOS BAGS.<br /><br />Especially the dudes walking around in sandals all the time like we live on some tropical island. <br /><br />Manhattan/Park Slope/Williamsburg 2009<br /><br />By the way, there is no way in hell LOLOLOLOL they are coming into Queens.
