One-day Stuy Town Round-up

What exactly goes on in a typical day, specifically, Nov. 17, in Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village?


First, it's a gorgeous day. Sunny and bright, fresh off a night of heavy rain -- of course, this means that Stuy Town is absolutely covered in leaves (as pictured above). Now, some may think that this beautifully blustery day is pleasant, while others probably can't think straight, after listening to the leaf blowers' present hum all morning long. As posted by LuxLiving a little over a week ago, the leaf blowers are not favorites among the community. To be fair to ST though, I witnessed a handful of employees that were using an "elusive object called [a] 'rake'," that LuxLiving mentions in the post.

In other news, Christmas-time is here! And ST workers were spotted putting holiday lights on the first couple, lucky trees surrounding the Oval (as pictured below). In case you have never walked through ST/PCV during the holidays, the decorations are simple and elegant, perfectly reflecting the family-friendly community. Also, there is a rumor going around that Rose Associates is planning on planting a huge tree in the middle of the Oval, to be used as the official Christmas tree each year -- how adorable!?
Finally, there is an interview with Rose Associates in tomorrow's edition of the Town & Village. In the interview, they talk about the company's plans to crackdown on many of the typical annoyances in ST, such as loud neighbors. In fact, Rose Associates plans to create a 'Top Ten' list for the loudest apartments in the complex and keep tabs on residents that receive frequent noise complaints. Repeat offenders may even be considered for a termination of their lease. Yikes! They mean business!
