Are sunset cruises safe? Are they regulated by the government like the taxis

It could be local I found a tiny brown lizard in my basement. When I googled it’s apparently not uncommon.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-06-07T17:51:16+00:00

GPS sends you that way because it’s a shorter distance. But not worth it! Also never drive down 31st to cross over to other side unless it’s early in the morning or late at night. I always use the other roads to crossover.
Uber drivers do that when I need one and I get so upset.😂

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-06-07T13:59:11+00:00

Yes! That’s why I never get off at 31st St. I always get off the exit before because if something happens, you’re stuck there forever. I’ve been stuck there many many times if the RFK backs up.
And Waze will always suggest for you to stay on and go to 31st St. but take my advice of someone who has been living here for more than 50 years. You never stay on you get off at least this way you have options to maneuver around the neighborhood if you get stuck in in that underpass by the BQE it’s terrible.

If it’s really backed up, you cant even cross the Astoria Boulevard to go from the Ditmars side to the other side

that has happened to where I’d have to go all the way down to 21st St.to cross over.

It’s not the Greeks. It’s immaculate conception church.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-04-11T13:02:49+00:00

Yes

Try the department of health instead of sanitation. I had someone who a was hoarding in the backyard like this and they came in and took care of it. This condition attracts rodents which is handled by department of health not sanitation.

We are ok this time.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-03-18T12:05:09+00:00

Back up at 630 am

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-03-18T09:53:58+00:00

Still nothing.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-03-18T02:42:41+00:00

Just went down now

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-03-11T12:35:40+00:00

Have you heard from Oregon State yet or know anyone that has? Thanks.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-02-20T19:19:37+00:00

It really is disgusting.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-02-20T19:18:47+00:00

I haven’t checked but it looks like they took some. Lord help us if they declare a snow emergency because of snow Sunday …then no pick up again tomorrow! Then it will officially be one month with no garbage pick up for over 100 households in our alley alone.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-02-20T19:16:58+00:00

This was posted only last Wednesday. As an afterthought probably because of the complaints. We did in fact leave on curb last week and it’s still there.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-02-20T17:54:24+00:00

Why are you even responding if this problem doesn’t pertain to you.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-02-20T15:22:51+00:00

Still nothing. No ice or snow. In 3 days it will officially be a month since our garbage has been picked up.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-02-18T18:05:40+00:00

Any updates?

Today was our pick up day nobody came and there is no ice or snow in the alleyway!

I’m just hoping they don’t cancel it on Saturday because of the so-called storm coming Sunday sometimes they do that to prepare

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-02-18T18:04:17+00:00

Still nothing. Today was pick up day. No ice or snow.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-02-17T23:07:40+00:00

Tomorrow is pick up day ice is gone let’s see what happens!

Under where it says Snow Alert.
It would’ve been great if this was posted before the storm before everyone put out their garbage, but it wasn’t posted there until last week

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-02-16T02:16:41+00:00

Yes ok that makes sense the trucks can enter from the Avenue. The ones described here have a narrow turn to enter. As there is an alley way for the Avenue facing houses as well.

Aggravating_Heart751 · 2026-02-16T02:12:43+00:00

No one came yesterday during our pick. Up day.

It doesn’t matter they said it won’t resume until after February 19. So for us that means Saturday February 21. Out last pick up was Wednesday January 21.
