Ikea Bike Lane Painted
Despite Ikea’s resistance to the idea of eliminating one lane of southbound car traffic for a four-block long bike lane on Columbia Street, the city went ahead and started painting. A tipster sent in this photo of a bike lane that’ll take you right to their yellow entrance. Ikea Fights Red Hook Bike Lane [Brownstoner]

How do the baby back ribs at Ikea compare with those at Applebee’s?
I REALLY LOVE! the old McDonalds fries with trans fat,but they were banned for being unhealthy! My taste buds are slowly adjusting. In the long run it’s better for me and everyone I guess.
I LOVE IKEA! You need to pick and choose what you get, but I’ve gotten a lot of great, inexpensive stuff there. I know it is fashionable among a certain obnoxious character type to hate Ikea, Walmart etc, and that’s never going to end.
As for the bike lane – until they improve the road surface over there, it seems like a very bad idea.
I like IKEA.
They have baby back rib Wednesdays
and two hot dogs, chips and a soda for 2 bucks every day.
LOL homesweeethome you are SPOT ON!!!!! it’s funny, i cant tell you how many times ive picked up furniture on the street (this was prebegbug phobia days mind you) only to have it in my apt and someone ask if i got it from ikea :-/ id be like um no i got it on trash night, or most often, the night someone transient moved out and dumped all their furniture on the street cuz i guess it wasnt worth the price to actually move it? that DOES say something in and of itself. hahaha. thanks for that comment, now i get the connection. some of it was pretty good stuff tho, but then again, i would just thrown it on the street when id move again too… ugh, that sounds horrible when you think about our throw it away and start fresh culture.

I’ve been to IKEA several times with cash in hand and list of basics, and I was very disappointed to find nothing, or nothing of any quality that I could buy. IKEA should sublease to Bed, Bath and Beyond. This stuff is just the crap of all time and I’m contantly reminded by the IKEA furniture left abandoned regularly on trash nights as I walk around the Brownstone belt. How many millions in public funds are we paying to export this stuff to landfills out of state? Now that the site is improved, opportunity knocks and I predict IKEA will flame out (and I encourage this) and we’ll get some real businesses on the waterfront who understand the market- locally and otherwise. What a sad passing chapter in the history of our waterfront. How many local jobs IKEA? ….Silence…and silence…Come clean or pack up! NOT ONE OF THE NIMBY’s.
Sorry daveinbedstuy but it’s “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds…” not that that adds anything to the debate but I’m a literature nerd, so…anyway I’m with you on your basic point.
mixing ikea with original vintage pieces of furniture is SINFUL!
