NYC... at the mailbox...people love to drop stuff they don't want/no longer need... stuff too good to just dump in the garbage.

WOW, I wish this was happening in Naija.
But how did you know it's FREE?

Enjoy some New York Pics

Enjoy!

Enjoy !!

Enjoy !!!

Enjoy !!!!

Last meal ! (Pre COVID-19)

@originalsly hope you're good. I just remembered you today.

Interesting thread!
Originalsy, have you been vaccinated?

Interesting thread!
Originalsy, have you been vaccinated?

Hell NO! ..... not mandated as yet at my workplace. Had Covid... before the pandemic ... therefore had the antibodies.... worked through the pandemic.... without masks nor following protocols. Tondate I'm fine.. Any vaccine will be a traditional one ... not mRNA.

@ topic... think this thread is buried in archives... had to go to Google to find it! Much has happened since..... much changes in the city... lots of buildings pulled down... many new ones went up... and are going up. Due to Covid mandates and many now working remote... the city is a lot calmer.... less traffic.... less hustle and bustle ... the buses and trains no longer jam packed as before during rush hours ... despite making less trips. I did snap some pix.... wanted to compare with previous pix to highlight changes... but too much stress. Still planning to do a video only thread... just don't hold your breath!

NYC..... this is Sept 30, 2021..... small indepent stores occupied this cleared area but at this point ... the big corporations are at the beginning stage of construction..... removal of soil to begin pile driving and to cast the "basin" .... a few storeys deep below the surface .
On the far end across the narrow street is Juniors Restaurant... which is being dwarfed by a tallllll skinny building which will be the tallest in Brooklyn... the building draped in brown and orange . Last shot... Jan 10, 22.... the building is wayyy too tall to snap in the area..... looks real skinny!

NYC ... space reserved for update on above.

NYC .... October '21. Was upstairs at this Mall... third floor... heard this bass line from a thunderous sound system... the metal shelving on the walls were rattling to the bass vibrations... found a way to peek outside to see the source. Was actually the end point of a "show car" motorcade promoting Breast Cancer Awareness.
View from upstairs. Source of sound was the gray pick up truck.... in the tray bass system ... inside... the rest!

NYC ... with the COVID-19 mandates ... customers can no longer eat in restaurants unless vaccinated. Since the lockdown ... people had turned to home delivery and that caused a boom in delivery services that is now a norm... the new normal. Electric scooters and ebikes be flittering throughout the city. Need to learn a skill?... ebikes repair.... they will be coming in your neighbourhood!
Ebike sales and repair ... used to be a tiny bicycle repair shop.
Delivery guy waiting to pick up order outside a Noodles Shop.(shop first had a few "African " delivery guys... but they had their friends hanging out in front blasting music and dancing... owner fired all of them... hired Mexicans)
Delivery guy on his way with food in insulated back pack.
Ice cream delivery ... this is the hood... stack of ice cream unattended.. can this happen in your hood? Company hiring drivers.... certification a must!

A lot of people I know left NYC during the pandemic because of the mandates especially. How do you cope there without Getting the vaccine as it seems it is required to enter most places in New york?I remember you said you can even go back to Naija rather than get the vaccine

They don't ask for proof of vaccine.... I just enter. Should they ask... then I don't enter the premises... easier for me! More people left after the pandemic because of the mandates..... my sister included.

What's with almost majority of the population refusing the mandated vaccine, just saw i n the news now, where over 1 thousand international truckers plying the Canada/US engaged in a massive protest, even in Maryland, stores have ran out of stocks (essential products) due to the effect of this mandatory vaccination, what do they feel about the vaccine, even in the UK, several health workers are going on strike cos of this, yet our people here, when we talk about not taking the vaccine, the woke ones feel they know it all.
What do they know?

You.can fool some of the people some of the time ... but you can'tfool all of the people all of the time.
People don't like to be forced to do things.... especially when it comes to their health. They were following "the science " according to the authorities.... but realized "the science " keeps changing and what then"conspiracy theorists" were saying has been coming to pass. Herd Immunity..... when 70% is vaccinated we would be safe... after a booster shot... after two booster shots... after three booster shots... a fourth booster shot will give maximum coverage... you need vaccine to enter a restaurant .. a concert... a gym ... to go to school... to work... it has become vaccine by force ... and yet... the vaccinated are the main ones testing positive. So people are saying... what's the point? Now they are going after kids under 5. Two States dead set against it are Texas and Florida. Texas seems ready to go to war... literal war against the FG ... they do not support the mandates. Biden is he'll bent on vaccinating everybody. Why?... follow the money.

NYC ...... Our local foods we see as cheap ... low class and unhealthy... so we prefer to buy the nice clean well packaged foreign foods. Do we prefer local beef?... the one that attract flies?... or the nice clean ones from Shoprite that don't attract flies? .... organic/natural or genetically modified beef? ... and local chicken eggs? To the Japa Crew.... eat all the local beef and eggs before you japa .... you wouldn't be able to afford it!

One dozen eggs ..... $6.99... get out the calculator!
Beef... like from Hausa cows.... yes you can imagine if you can get just one cow to market over here how that can transform your bank account!

NYC... this is South Bronx ... before getting under the elevated Major Deegan Expressway and crossing over the 149th Street Bridge to Harlem, Manhattan. The building in yellow is under construction... I'll try to monitor it's progress on this thread. Don't know how tall it will be... but will just follow.

NYC ...Lots of free stuff I see often... people moving sell some stuff very cheap... and throw the rest out. At times it's just that they bought new stuff and get rid of those they will no longer use. I'll post some of the more interesting stuff here!

Pls, why are people refusing to take the vaccine?

So ypu mean, as long as the vaccine is rolling out that means more money for the government's pocket, now I understand majority of fresh cases even in London, are recorded amongst former vaccinated, but why bar people from gaining access to public places, when even the unvaccinated are almost proving to he immune to this virus, in my opinion I think this is just some kind of flu that the people need to manage and take regular treatment against and not this vaccination, like you said the forceful nature surrounding this, is giving credibility to the conspiracy theorist which I am alrwdy believing, what's there in providing a viable antivirus for this, there is something sinister.

Do you think you know the procedure or how viable will it be for an immigrant to own a large scale farm, let's say in somewhere around new jersey close to NyC, and a ranch for the sole purpose of supply markets there with fresh food, package in large quantities, beef especially, any laws surrounding or hindering organic products.

Can own anything .... just have to get the money.

NYC ... COVID-19 mandates had brought filming to a standstill. Seems to be moving again..... slowly.

NYC ... on Set.... and the morning after.

Do you know that anyone applying for a green card now must get the vaccine? It all proves that this is not about the virus at all.Why forcing it on hapless immigrants? I dont care about the Republicans due to their propaganda, Trump cult and all that but if there's one thing they are right about, it is their opposition to these mandates and all that

We're on the same page with regards to Trump. From early he said the treatment was hydrochloroquine ... he never wore a mask during the midst of the pandemic ... and towards the end was considering firing Fauci ... the driving force behind the pandemic.... the one that tried to push his drug Remdesevir ... claiming it reduces infection by 4 days ... a good for nothing drug that was first pushed for HIV treatment and any other epidemic that followed. Since Trump left... his drug has been given green light to treat COVID-19 in the US ... and forced down the throats of lesser developed countries. If Trump was still in power... this pandemic would've been long over ..... but I strongly believe he would've been assassinated by the powers behind the pandemic and some Arab held responsible.

NYC... COVID-19 mandates! ... a small fast food joint in a mall.... after entering and reaching the counter... the blue sign.... must be vaccinated to enter the premises! Small Businesses suffering big time .... part of the agenda for operate businesses only.

Since 2020.... due to the crisis ... this trailer was parked. The guybfinally came... somehow got it started... no big smoking and all that.... and tried to drive off ... but the trailer wheels were locked. When I returned the trailer was no more!... left the road in a mess!

Originalsly, good job!
