We’ve recently seen the telltale signs that ginko fruit is currently in season in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

The fruit is already hitting the ground, where it will likely rot due to many residents believing that they are above simple neighborly things like sweeping up the sidewalk in front of their homes and businesses — that’s what they pay gardeners and/or day-laborers to do once per month during the summer months only, and we are heading into autumn.

All of this means that we should all expect numerous streets within Bay Ridge to be smelling like death covered in rotting milk for the next month or two, particularly 90th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenue, where we will likely vomit if we walk down it during the peak of the ginko season — unless a nice middle aged Asian man collects all of the fruit once again.
