213 was off the hook: eight, maybe a dozen people, more than half of them unfamiliar looking, a/k/a from Red Hook here for a deal or a dame, standing around drinking from open containers and passing reefer.
The NYPD responded quick, and effectively--one of the offenders was summonsed, while the others dispersed. Unfortunately, the ones who live around here weren't ticketed ... so therefore the problem will probably continue ... and they just went down the block to 236 for the rest of the night into the morning.
