POLY PREP NEEDS TO GIVE A PARTY AND A TOUR FOR 1ST STREET RESIDENTS...
In the "Karma is a boomerang" department, Poly Prep Lower School, which just completed construction of its new building on First Street, should invite neighbors in for a thank-you-for putting-up-with-the-construction party and tour.
That would go a long way in easing tensions on that block.
People are trying to like the new building just as they are getting over memories of a year's worth of noise, garbage, and general construction mayhem.
Construction isn't easy on anyone. Nor is a brand new modern school building on a beautiful block of landmarked brownstones and limestones.
Poly Prep should at least have a tour and welcome party for the neighbors. It would definitely be a nice gesture.

"those people can't see beyond their on precious child."
Hey, but we can spell and so can our kids!If we didn't think our kids were special to us, why would we have'em? Think through your blather before uploading it, you may one day have a child, if anyone can put up with you.
Hee, Hee.

Yeah some of us are dickweeds. But the neighbors should realize that their property is now worth more with the enhanced Poly. Sorry we are so awful, we'll try harder to not be.

it took over a year. was annoying, dirty, and loud. however the school doesn't owe us, the neighbors, anything. Maybe send the immediate neighbors some cupcakes or something. I don't know anything about it being private property...BUT
maybe figure out a way that the obnoxious parents don't take over the streets when they come to pick up their kids...cars double parked, cars in front of hydrants,and in bus stops. there must be a better way...recently a truck slammed into the back of a bus sitting there. unavoidable if the truck driver knew what he was doing but frankly the traffic was so backed up because parents were parked all over it was difficult for cars to maneuver between 1st and 2nd street. let's look at the big picture folks

seriously? they should throw a party? They don't owe anyone anything. bloggers just speak before they think way too much.

are u serious? They built a structure on private property. Other than proximity to adjacent buildings, they are not a "neighbor", they are a school. You should throw them a party for completing the work within a year.
