no, i haven't, but i've been to Monroe NY before 2019. are things pretty tense in Lakewood, too?
@PennEd, i'm being too vague, and i'm sorry. 2019 was when Andrew Cuomo essentially made the community of Kiryas Joel its own village, separating it from Monroe.
as you drive into Kiryas Joel, on a state road, mind, you see a sign saying,
Welcome to Kiryas Joel. Please dress accordingly.
i won't go into any more detail, it's just gossip, but please believe me when i tell you this sign alone sets people's backs up. hhhhhhhhhhhhhh (<--- how my youngest expresses a sigh in a text message
