Windshield Porn invades Hoboken

Mexico Lindo Lounge tries to woo Hoboken customers

Just up the hill over in Union City – is a place called Mexico Lindo Lounge. It’s located at 3603 Palisades Avenue (map), not far from the Park Avenue Bar & Grill that some Hoboken residents enjoy visiting.

It’s a full-service restaurant that transforms into a lounge / nightlife spot that offers a whole slate of entertainment options, including pool tables, DJ’s, dancing and happy hour specials. Urban Spoon had one positive review – from last year, however, I believe the place closed due to booze violations (serving minors), but seems to have re-opened under new ownership.

Thousands of these racy fliers were on car windshields all over the city this week (along with Kids First Board of Ed fliers as well).


.

Is it appropriate? Will you check Mexico Lindo out now?

Not sure if any Hoboken Windshield Twittering is necessarily a good thing, but in this case – it sparked some interest because of the kind of photos they used.

I might just have to check this place out between 10pm and 10:30pm one day just for kicks.

Has anyone here been to Mexico Lindo before?

Windshield Tweet: Tony Alamo Christian

11/10/2010:

[Continuing the ORIGINAL Hoboken411 "Windshield Twittering" series...]

God approves this Windshield Tweet:

Not sure how many of you received a “message from God” delivered via the Tony Alamo Christian Ministries Newsletter this past weekend, but I’m guessing that this particular Windshield Tweet was approved by the big man himself.

I’d also suspect that people throwing his words on the ground, not so much.

What does Tony Alamo have to say?

Figured I’d do my part and help spread whatever Tony Alamo had to say and scan the two newsletters in so you can read them or forward on.

So either click here to read the PDF or click the image below.

God Bless and have a great day!

Windshield Tweet: 65 inch blank screen TV

[Continuing the ORIGINAL Hoboken411 "Windshield Twittering" series...]

Lack of TV drives people bananas

Television (like the internet) is so inter-twined in our lives, that without them – it pretty much causes widespread panic attacks.

Today’s windshield tweet is a byproduct of the Cablevision /NewsCorp dispute.

Windshield Tweets: Litter Bugs!

10/20/2010:

[Continuing the ORIGINAL Hoboken411 "Windshield Twittering" series...]

Windshield junk sucks; but do you need to litter?

Most of us hate the Windshield SPAM we all get. This week’s culprits are Carmina Limousine, and Zap Lube. Both business are NOT located in Hoboken – but have an indirect negative effect on the city they wish to do business with.

However, it’s my belief that since the windshield spammers are pretty good at putting the leaflets underneath the wiper blade (unlike the Hoboken Parking Utility who can’t muster up the energy) – that the car owners themselves are the ones responsible for just tossing them on the ground.

Just because you didn’t want the flier doesn’t mean you should make your own Hoboken neighborhood more disgusting. Just bring it in your car and toss it out in the proper receptacle!

C’mon, folks!

Windshield Tweets: SPAM!

10/15/2010:

[Continuing the ORIGINAL Hoboken411 "Windshield Twittering" series...]

Hey, when did I sign up for that?

No AdvertisementsThe worst Windshield Tweets in Hoboken are the unsolicited SPAM you’ll find under the wiper.

Now I’ll admit, maybe one out of 20 fliers left on my car might have sparked some interest at some point in the past – but the vast majority get discarded (often on the sidewalks, further cluttering our city).

But the kicker here is, that some of these fliers get painfully stuck to the windshield especially after it rains, then dries. Many are hard to peel off. At this point, it becomes an annoying safety hazard.

Is it time for “no advertisement” stickers for cars too?

Windshield Tweet: 1 Hour Parking

10/14/2010:

[Continuing the ORIGINAL Hoboken411 "Windshield Twittering" series...]

1 hour parking; yeah, so?

Can’t figure out what the purpose of this Windshield Tweet is… a sign that simply says “1 Hour Parking.”

A couple scenarios could be…

  • From an angry observer, who witnessed this person “stuff the meter…”
  • Maybe someone who put money into the meter and it didn’t register?

That’s about all I could come up with. Any ideas?
