would you live near West 74th Fairway?

Geog - Just because I shop at Fairway doesn't necessarily mean I'm a rat, as you referred to us. I would be more concerned with living over the Beacon Theater. Can residents feel the vibration from concerts?

I would be more concerned with the old ladies and their inability to drive a shopping cart

I lived in fairway.
Locked in over night.
That's how I became...

MIGHTY MOUSE!

i prefer to live near the green, or the tee---fairways linda boring---duffers going by in carts

I lived on that block on the first floor of a building for 9 years. If your bedroom windows don't face 74th then you're fine. otherwise you will hear the noise at all hours.

report abuse I am considering buying and/or renting on west 74th street between broadway and wea and just learned of all the fairway truck noise and rats etc ? does anyone know if this has been fixed?
would you live on west 74th near fairway?

there is no way to fix the truck noise and vermin problem, as long as there is a supermarket in that location. i lived between bway and west end, though on 71st, and loved it (does that bass-baritone still haunt that block? even woken up from dead sleep, you had to admit it was kind of nice). your experience on the fairway block will depend on the floor of your apartment and the direction of your windows. but the noise and traffic, both foot and car, are an issue. since renting first is an option for you, do that and decide if that block is where you want to live.

A guy complaining about truck noise and rats in NYC? Hahaha! This city is clearly not for you. Go away!

lucillebluth, that was my favorite block in all of Manhattan, before Trump Village started up. Did you ever stroll the submerged catwalk that runs from the end of the street to 72nd & RSD?

no....there is a tunnel there? where people hang out and do things? even if i knew about it, i wouldn't have been quite *that* fearless and street cool to go down there.

but do you know anything about the singer? i'd only gotten one neighbor to admit to having heard him, thought i was dreaming.

I know nothing about the singer, but try egg cartons on your ceiling (works like a charm, every time).

It's not a tunnel (I meant submerged from street level, which is the top of a cliff), it's a steel catwalk that runs along the exposed undecorative side of the last building on 72nd (Chatsworth?), and whatever's at the end of the 71st St. side -- back of the 72nd building, another apartment building, a townhouse, I don't know. But it's at least a few steps down from street level. Probably still there, but people lock things up now. And anyway the view wouldn't now be the splendiferrous post-industrial corroded iron decay of disused railyards. Just shoddily-built worker housing for the petit-criminal classes.

rats in NYC?

Mighty Mouse

dogs and cats living together...

anyone care to guess where this is going?

kill the teachers?

alanhart, I remember that thing, on top of the retaining wall. Was never on it, though.

Pre-Trump I'd take the dog and explore all those rusted towers along the water. One had someone living in it.

i used to skulk around the waterfront and the old penn central yards, when a teen, way pre trump, in fact pre a whole lotta stuff--i recall standing atop the sewer outlets for midtown/time sq mid-afternoon following the lunch-rush--thousand of condoms washing out into the hudson---i love this city

friends of mine lived on that block.. southside.. i found it very dirty and busy

double-parked SUV's on that and surrounding blocks, all the weekend long

and the blocks are in fact rattier and filthier than most

Couple friends live on the block in question on W74th - I've never heard them mention it, but will ask. Wouldn't the trucks mostly idle on Broadway? I used to live on 74th, but much closer to the park, and honestly don't remember. If it's that much of a concern, why not move up/down/across a block or two? The neighborhood's pretty great.

The trucks mostly come east from West End, under Tina Fey's windows, then park just short of Broadway. Fairway's unloading area is there on 74th.

>thousand of condoms washing out into the hudson---i love this city

Wtushy has bested his earlier comments about watching Barney videos.

Please Wtushy, on behalf of all NY parents, stay away from children.

it as much about the people shopping with double-parked spouses in SUV's outside, on b'way as well as the side streets, as it is about the trucks--chk it out any sat or sun

I love the sour dough rolls

h'burg,hfscomm, and all your other ill personalities: youve posted several hundred since i last tossed you a rotten bone

your obsession with "children" is worrisome--it's exclusively mentioned by you, frequently, and for quite some time now--maybe you should consider a med switch.... to depo provera??

now get back to work--youve only posted a few hundred trollisms today--your self worth must be flagging

you pathetic fool

I'm obsessed with keeping your type away from children. And I think other parents here agree.

You do not want to live on that block

kill the teachers?

alan...........tsk,tsk,tsk.....

GHOST BUSTERS!
