Is that the same Shoprite mall we have here in Nigeria or is it just for fast food only?

NYC... Brooklyn. Shoprite on the mall... wanted to snap some pics inside but ehmm...I wasn't all dressed up! Went in there once.... not really popular here except for junk food lovers. Trees naked all winter during the cold about to get fully clothed in green uniform as the brilliant sun finally starts adding heat to its light..

Same company.... it's a supermarket....(just another business spot on the mall) but most of the stuff is 'junk'... boxes cereals... artificially flavoured juices... 3 minute pizza... 2 minute pancakes ... 1 minute pop corn... I Can't Believe It's Not Butter...(I can't believe people don't know what it is but buy it anyways... and I can't believe they eat it!)

NYC...da Bronx...South Bronx.... home of hip hop... home of graffiti artists. Lots of huge apartment buildings... more residential and small businesses. A rough neighborhood... but..streets got it's own code... pretty safe.

Really?

So they don't sell vegetables, fruits, or organic food items in this particular Shoprite?

This Shoprite must be in those neglected ghetto areas in New York.

Neglected ghetto areas?... change your source of info about NYC. There is no area... not even a single block or half block of vacant/condemned buildings in the city. Most of the pics on this thread are in the ghettos.... but you wouldn't know if I didn't say so. And yes... they do sell fruits and vegetables.... but they are loaded with processed foods.... not really catering for immigrants who generally make a lot of stuff from scratch.

Okay, then it looks like some of those immigrants living in that particular neighborhood needs to get hold of the manager running that particular store and introduce those foods items to them to get it sold in that particular store.

To share in pictures what I find interesting. Hmmm.... can't be the same level... you'd rather be in Nigeria than manyyyyy parts of America.However.... we can learn... don't have to follow them blindly.... nor go thru the trials and errors they have gone through in getting where they are today...we can learn thru their mistakes. Eg.... why are we still building overhead pedestrian bridges in heavily populated areas in Lagos... when traffic lights can be used?.... are we going to wait nxt 20 years to go that route? Does NYC have such bridges?

noo.. I was asking the trouble maker.. (Pidgin)When she said that America is older than Nigeria so therefore, it must be more developed than Nigeria. Singapore and Kuwait are one of the few countries that got independence about the same time or later than Nigeria and are have made big strides to develop and dammed the facade or excuses of not developing. Not attacking you o.. I'mjust enjoying the thread sef

NYC....Sanitation. .keeping the city clean...Enforcement. There are the guys that pick up the garbage... has a day and time when it can be put out on the sidewalk for pick up. This was put out late. .. truck already passed.. and now here is the enforcement dep't picking up the garbage...recyclables... and taking it away. Think they get photos..get names and addresses off labels... and will fine the building owner.
ni wonder... No wonder they are so disciplined.. The rules and seriousness of the adherence to the law will discipline you. Very good

NYC ...White car booted... owing either the city/bank.. looks like he didn't know the boot was there...drove off... damaged fender. Never seen or heard of this..... how someone got the wheel off while booted. Smart guy?..... until the boot is returmed.his bill will be increasing.
This bird got into the truck through the open back door..... I opened the windows and tried shooing it out .. he kept trying the windshield until he got tired and was barely clinging on to the edge of the dashboard... I snapped him but whoaa... he immediately sprang to life and moved to the middle of the dash to give me better shots... even close up... was no longer interested in leaving......I picked him up and dashed him out....vanity has now gone to the birds.
