Looks like that horrible place down the street made itself to the New York Times!  That chicken killing place is probably the single most horrible thing in Greenpoint, (well other than the waste water plant, Newton Creek and the G train~ but the waste plant and the creek are too far out for me to care~)

Apparently the condo neighbors next door is having a fight with the slaughterhouse~ This time I am siding with the condo people cos the entire street is residential, or light commercial, why on earth would a slaughterhouse fit in here? According to the Times, they were here before the zoning officially declared the area as residential in 1961, therefore they were allowed to stay.  The smell of the place is pretty bad most of the time and I always avoid that side of the street whenever I can even if it’s more convenient to walk that side.  Some morning I even see chicken running on the street!! Anyway, maybe they will finally close for good soon because according to the article, they will move somewhere else in Brooklyn~

The sooner the better, I can’t have more of those dreams about chicken ghosts marching down the street playing all kind of instruments!
