I got some additional information and clarification on my previous post regarding the lights on Manhattan Avenue from current Lions Club Secretary Bud Maddenand via Tommy Scudiero. Sadly, there won’t be any lights this year kids, but as soon as I get a list of the stores on The Avenue that have contributed in the past, I will most certainly post them because the stores that DO help out the community deserve recognition and Greenpointers…
Manhattan Avenue Gets Scrooged Update

That sucks. The lights were the first thing I saw when I first came to Greenpoint to visit my cousin two years ago before moving here. I would have totally helped put up lights if man hours was an issue and still would.
That’s too bad. It’s funny, the lights were one of my first impressions of Greenpoint too. It was about this time last year–I was waiting for someone to show me an apartment off of Manhattan Ave., and the lights made this look like a pleasant, welcoming little place. I signed a lease an hour later.
Yeah, this is really too bad. I loved the lights. I guess I took them for granted and figured they’d always be there. Not so.
