MTA Now Causing Upper East Side Fly Swarms, Allegedly


East New York

Hey, here's a new thing to blame on the MTA: Owners of businesses near the worksite of the Second Avenue subway are saying that dirty, lunch-leaving construction workers are attracting flies to the Upper East Side, with swarms now everywhere along the path of the subway-to-be, reports the Post. The MTA denies being the cause of the problem -- although they do admit they're the cause of other problems.

 

 

"While we are cognizant of issues that businesses along Second Avenue are facing as a result of construction, flies is not one of them," said agency spokesman Kevin Ortiz. "There is no connection between flies and construction work."

Of course, a surge in flies may just be the sign of a coming apocalypse -- we've sighted them downtown, too! -- and have nothing to do with the subway, or lack thereof.

 

Nah, let's blame it on the MTA.

Damn, these people will complain literally about anything and blame it on the (MTA). I bet you that most, if not all these whiners will be among the first to ride the new line when it opens.

Let's be real about this. They will all be dead by the time the 2nd avenue subway is built.

I was talking about the line from 63rd Street to 96th Street (maybe 125th Street). I know that our children, nay our children's children will be dead before the Second Avenue line will be fully completed.
