Facebook neighborhood groups are the worst thing ever

exotic chicken lol

There was a Sambo's where Sherwin-Williams is now... Sambo's used to be there... Sambo's was farther up on the parking lot, more where the paint store is now... I know Sambos was where the paint store is now... I think Sambo's was actually about where Sherwin Williams is now... Sambo's where paint store is... Sambos was where the Sherwin Williams paint store is... Sambos was never on the corner. It was behind it on the hill. It was were Sherwin Williams Paint is now... Sambos was where the paint store is right behind... Sambo's is where the paint Store is now that's next door... There was a restaurant called Sambos... Above where Sherwin Williams is now was Sambo's... Sambo's Restaurant was on the hill behind Lindsey's Steak where Sherwin Paint is now... Sambos was up the hill where the Sherwin Williams store is now...

THESE ARE ALL FROM THE SAME GODDAMMED THREAD.

My neighborhood associate fb group is great, lots of wackos and unintentional comedy. Great post (and response) from a few weeks ago about a neighbor that takes offense to the city requiring him to shovel the sidewalks:

this sort of exact thing happens every day on my nextdoor site.

I have a 2007 Toyota Sienna Limited minivan for sale. If you are interested or know someone that is looking for a dependable vehicle that is great for kids, please let me know. It has 99,000 miles and I am asking $10,500.

Hi I like to know if you're already sold the car if not what was your asking price.

Christ they're still talking about Sambos? Should rename to the Sambo's memories group. xxpost

People freaking out about the occasional raccoon in Queens was pretty entertaining -- 25 people screaming "IF YOU SEE THEM IN THE DAYTIME THEY ARE RABID!" "WHY WON'T THE POLICE CALL WHEN I COME!" vs two people saying "Yeah actually raccoons are nbd, and they come out in the daytime for all kidns of reasons."

Dog days have returned, indeed, to North Little Rock. The city's Civil Service Commission has suspended the Chief of Police, his deputy and the head of the Fraternal Order of Police, with full pay, while it investigates reports about them.

The commission began public hearings last week to explore charges of ''conduct unbecoming a police officer'' against Police Chief William Younts, whose nickname is ''Bubba.'' Chief Younts is a stocky man with a naturally red face that turns redder when he denies the charges.

He adamantly rejects accusations by a waitress, for example, that he was ''rowdy, obnoxious, very intoxicated,'' or, as a banker testified, ''having trouble maintaining vertical stability'' at a Sambo's restaurant on the morning of Dec. 12.

my mom used to work at a Sambo's in the late 70s when i was young ... but not in North Little Rock

I'm sure the chief of police in her town had no problem maintaining vertical stability.

I'm sure he did from time to time.

in a later incarnation of that Sambo's, the owner paid a hitman to kill her husband.

Was it a paint store?

The name got changed to Sandy's? I think? It's near the trucker motel off Highway 101 near Pacheco Pass

haa

Unfortunately with maps and waze, people are being rerouted all over the place avoiding traffic; it has become a disaster with traffic. So the riffraff have learned about our convenient little bypass and speed through like maniacs. I can't tell you how many people don't even slow down at half the stop signs on the whole stretch of our street. It's definitely no longer just us. I am thinking about the neighborhood, the children, the dogs and trying to hold on to a tiny bit of whatever convenience is left for us, with the taxes we pay to live in the area.
The street really needs to stay closed.

is that alt lit or is that actual fb posts

poetically incorrect

I sure hope William S. Burroughs is pleased with himself for this.

they should just figure it out once and for all and pin it to the top of the group.

exterminate all rational discourse

I forgot I had this one from a Google Group. (I pretty much join them all and then play the quiet game when a mod wants to know which house is mine.)

My wife, a public school teacher and current stay-home mom, posted an ad for her tutoring services. Among said offered services was tutoring for the city's gifted-and-talented test, which is given in Pre-K. Thread turned into a 100-post clusterfuck about (1) whether the test shoudl be given at all (2) whether tutoring is some kind of unfair advantage -- notably, most strenuously argued not by people who can't afford it, but by people whose kids "didn't prepare" and still got in, therefore they are special snowflakes, therefore anyone who prepares might just be "getting into a program they can't really handle" (3) whether all of this implied that the regular schools in our neighborhood aren't good enough (4) those damn yuppies coming to our neighborhood (which was always a middle to upper middle class neighborhood)

My grandmother belongs to a Facebook neighborhood group and according to her the only thing anybody posts about are "suspicious" (i.e. non-white) young people walking around

good debate imo xp

counterpoint: my car battery died, I posted to my neighborhood dads group to see if anyone had jumper cables, and a random dad showed up within minutes.

here's a classic i meant to post

I can't wait till it [public school being renovated] closes,very few students that walk down Berry Street towards the light rail show any respect to the people that live in *******.The school should allow children in the area [almost entirely white area] to attend the newly renovated school,Children that appreciate the school,the people that live there and the neighborhood This will keep the trouble making students out of *******.

there is certainly no prohibition on "children from the area" attending and the kids in this neighborhood are not that great, does it even need to be said

now that the police dept has joined there is a lot of "thank you for getting these criminals off our streets!"

FB DAD: Don't worry about it. No charge.

MAN ALIVE: No charge? Then why did you even come over here?

I know that this is just an "innocent" picture that someone shared, but as a lifeguard, can you see the potential dangers here?
If you saw a child alone, looking down at the water and knowing children are curious, this child is in a dangerous situation. Then again, I guess you're not a lifeguard so you don't see the potential danger here. Even if it is just a painting, it's set up in a very dangerous situation. Sorry if you don't get it. If this was a real situation and that child fell into the water, he could drown in less than 2" of water if he fell in and couldn't stand up. Look at the height of the deck. It's about 3" . It's an accident that can and should be avoided.

Even if it is just a painting, it's set up in a very dangerous situation.

giggling at the thought of applying this to washington crossing the delaware, judith and holofernes, etc

I don't get it, what part is a painting?

look at the top, it's not even a reflecting pond, unless those people are standing on top of water

https://arthuride.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/st-peter-walking-on-water-by-boucher-francois-17661.jpg

still a very dangerous situation!

Yeah, it's clearly not a pool, it's just some sprinklers on a soft surface. I've been there. But the woman was undeterred when people explained that to her. "Children can drown in 2" of water" etc.

I hope I'm not wrong, but I'm pretty sure the scenarios where children drown in 2" of water are where the kid is unattended and therefore winds up unconscious face down in water for more than a few seconds.

author is thinking of kid as unattended i think but has forgotten the pov presence -- obv if the kid fell the painter would rescue him.

(the others present being indifferent to alien spawn)

what a beautiful painting

very irresponsible post

The hot topic right now is continuing to mourn the already now-closed Barnes & Noble and complain about the Target soon to replace it (sort of a mini-Target or Target Express or something).

Shoshanna ____ this community desperately wanted B&N to stay. Petitions were filed. Pleas made. Our B&N was a place to browse, hear stories, linger. To gather as a community.

Evan G____ [to particular poster] if you don't understand that reading and lifelong learning is essential I hope you're teaching your kid(s) more than just materialism/consumerism.
