are people this crazy? to get furniture that everyone can buy to go on a line early? this is nuts, if they camp out, they could just goto other other 3 ikeas close to nyc lol. to get the same items earlier and don't have to waste their time.

I'm not whining about traffic and bitching about crowding. I don't own a home and I am far from a trust fund. I care about a neighborhood and it's history, the quality of it's buildings and it's wonderful lack of strip mall life. I'm just tired of big businesses coming into a neighborhood and building their big cheap box structures. Fairway is nice and big, hires locals, has great prices and quality and USED THE EXISTING STRUCTURES! Nuff said.

it's gonna be tacky paradise, just like the Ikea in Elisabeth. Asians and their first homes, hispanics and their first homes looking for the Lark bookcase. but you get what you pay for.

Enough goddamn whiners will bitch about traffic and other crowding ... which of course will happen for a little bit as Ikea becomes a new shopping novelty ... then will lighten up as the days, weeks and months progress. Maybe some of your gripers with access to your trust funds could have bought the land and ceded it to the city, a la Rockefeller. In the meantime, commerce reigns, locals have jobs, and you have cheap furniture.

Such gifts from the company that ruined Red Hooks skyline...... not to mention tore down some really nice old civil war era warehouses. Anyone that stands in line for two days is an idiot.
