The nonsensical hyphen between Prospect (for the park) and Lefferts (for the homestead and Manor) has now been set in stone, or plastic or whatever. As for the "s" on Garden, you probably know by now where I stand on that one. As for PLG, any neighborhood that resorts to acronyms that could potentially sound as PLAG, PLEG, PLIG, PLOG or PLUG (and sometimes PLYG) is really not the way to go. But PLuGNA long ago ensured that we'd have live with it.
Ah, but the Parkside Playground. A reader sent these pictures of a clippings loaf topped with a dollop of sumptuous garbage:
The Q notified district manager Miles. Hopefully Sanitation will be by soon to clean it up. If you notice that it's been tidied, or not, please comment!

That's a nice looking map, but strangely oriented, wiyh north at the bottom.
It's intended for the least mappy among us. It's oriented towards the direction you are facing. Though I'm not sure how that helps the mapularly challenged become more mapolific in the long run. It's like speaking to a foreigner in babyspeak.
Nice hyphen! :)
At least as far as the official NYC mapmakers are concerned, I have lost the battle. It is not the only one I lost this month.
I will continue to call the neighborhood Lefferts, and I will continue to become, day by day, a crotchety old man.
lol Babs, I was just going to say that!
"You kids get off-my lawn!"
Yes!! Another photo of garbage. I was getting quite concerned we would not have a garbage photo for this week.
I was wondering what to call the "thing" in front of Parkside Playground and "clippings loaf" is by far the best description and the most hilarious.
I just walked by the playground and the clippings loaf has been cleaned.
To Anon at 3:03. Lest you think I'm obsessed with mess, I was assigned chair of environmental protection at cb9. So yeah, I try to take it seriously and make a "stink" about trash.
