Of course it's in memory of someone, there is no practical use for a wind chime other than a movie prop to tell the audience that completely unhinged people live in this location.

Is this the general consensus? They are just a decoration, a normal one at that I thought. Maybe I'm in the minority here. I like em, think they sound nice.

Hey yall here's the chime in question... caught it at a good time as a wind just kicked up as I was walking home from the laundromat.

Sounds like a miserable bunch of people who get off on being passive aggressive to each other.

NYC neighborhoods in a nutshell

wind chimes are such a genteel atmospheric sound the tread of car tires going down the streets seems to oppress them. i used to be bothered by them as a kid but anymore if im just sitting there smelling the wind the sound they make gently steps into the sound of nature and shit feels tranquil. im surprised to see so many wind chime haters >.<

And after looking at crooked spin's video it looks like the photo in the article has some perspective trickery or the chime was actually moved closer towards the tree (possibly lower as well) for the shot.

It was repositioned after all the papers were taken down. It was originally screwed in, but then she just tied it onto a branch.

Not a fan myself. As so eone raised in more rural areas, I prefer the sound of birds and trees swaying in the breeze.

It was an exaggeration, I see the decorative appeal and of course as audible decor which doesn't really exist in many other states (probably for good reason). But if I had to describe the average wind chime owner for a consumer eval, I'd possibly pin them as a self-described "free spirit" or a knick knack hoarder. I use neither description endearingly.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. I'd put wind chimes in the same category as lawn gnomes, unnecessary, but to each their own.

what do you do in an adult preschool?

 

[Zantetsuken]

It's random shitty racket.

I installed DirecTV at a house with a crazy old lady and like 50 fucking wind chimes. I thought I was going insane.

Now that's a different story. That's way too many lol

 

[SturokBGD]

I try not to look at my wind chimes.

WTF is a "hipster dentist"?

Old timey hand cranked drill, and ether lots of ether

They aren't weird at all. But I don't know. I come into these olfactory/interpersonal/food culture threads on here and feel like a horrible barbarian.

It's like a pen and paper version of Facebook.

 

[TissueBox]

Lmao this whole thing had me dying. First the letter about the wind chimes, then the letter toward the letter, then the letters/flyers toward those ones, then the other lady tearing 'em down for the sake of the tree, lmao. Whether team for-windchimes or against, it's a damn funny anecdote. Almost feels too skit-esque to be real. Any case, hope the belligerents eventually find peace.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

That was a very respectful note. Not sure why the windchime owner would be so rude in their response.

Entitlement.

This Wind Chime Is Tearing a Brooklyn Neighborhood Apart

Isn't having neighbors great to know how to make beer can wind chimes?

I wish my settlements had wind chimes. Nothing says home like the tinkle of little metal pipes or the knocking of bamboo.

The fuck is this necrobump?

 

[Grildon Tundy]

If you're going to necro a nothing story from 2017, there'd better be updates. Someone murdered someone after 6 years of endless wind chimes; the neighborhood got over their differences and had a BBQ; anything.

Well there is, in a way..

Brooklyn is such a hipster dump site

Damn why private this

How did it end up

I'm amazed that the Brooklyn residents post on an actual message board. Like a tangible object. Start a Facebook chat group or a discord or some shit, guys. Name it The Hood. Have a nice message to new members like "Have an opinion on our community? Chime in!"

 

[Kacho]

Expected an update that someone got shot. What a pointless necro.
