Great Moments in NIMBYism: Red Hook hates on the Real World

An article in amNY highlights the admirable NIMBYism of the resilient residents of Red Hook - they're treating the Real World cast and crew like shit!


This falls out of the jurisdiction of CHARTS and CHEATS, which pertain only to television shoots in HilBloeCoc. But we all should be proud of our Hook neighbors for giving the RW'ers some good old fashioned Brooklyn love.

IMHO: Even though I have no sympathy for anyone ever, I would encourage people to continue harassing the cast, but give the crew a break - it's just their job, and they probably hate the cast more than we do!

Join the Carroll Gardens Anti-Reality TV Coalition

A report on Brownstoner suggests the threat of The Real World: Carroll Gardens still looms over our precious neighborhood.

An intern from Hunter College who is working for MTV provided an interesting statement that The Real World may not even film [in downtown Brooklyn] because they were having some issues with the BellTel Lofts building with the location at 116 Third Place in Carroll Gardens as the backup.

As a response, I'm forming a neighborhood alliance called CHARTS - Concerned Hilbloecockers Against Reality Tv Shows - to combat the threat of The Real World or any other reality television program from co-opting our brownstone paradise. Alex McCord, you are officially on notice!

IMHO: It's bad enough that these putrid reality tv shows invade my home via the TV - now the reality shows are invading MY backyard!
