Dumbo Streetart (Photo by petroleumjelliffe)

If you’re reading DumboNYC using an RSS reader, you’re missing out on some heated discussions on the Pearl Street Triangle, Dumbo bums (where did they disappear to?), and the Dock Street building. You can subscribe to the comments feed to tap into the comments: dumbonyc.com/comments/feed. Thank you all who take the time to voice your opinions. I usually don’t have all sides to every story I post, so I try to reserve judgment until I get the facts. But I enjoy hearing more from everyone about their thoughts as there are many people who have lived in Dumbo a long time and have some great perspectives based on your experiences and facts. I even get some laughs from some of your posts. Your comments are also heard by more ‘influential’ people in the neighborhood. I occasionally forward some relevant threads to DNA, Dumbo BID, local business owners, our councilman, and others.

Please keep commenting so we can all see what is important for you. However, be civil and try not to flame anyone. We are a diverse bunch and there are going to be differences in opinions. But we’re all neighbors and should try to get along. No profanities too, as the website software is pretty aggressive filtering out comments based on keywords. So I hope all the people who email me and try to comment with offers of replica watches, ringtones, Viagra, and “enlargement procedures” will take note. Plus, Dumbo doesn’t need any fake stuff.
