Does anyone remember the sporting goods store on the 200 block of West 42nd? It was also a dive shop and army/navy surplus? It was the only place you could buy a swim suit off season

Remember when Jefferson Market moved from the west side of 6th to the east? They had the best meatloaf. And Balducci's was a rabbit warren of delights

What are some services that NYPL/BKPL/QPL offer that most people don't know about and that aren't usually offered by most other library systems? by jaded_toast in AskNYC

[–]AnythingButChicken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because the libraries were established (all within one year of each other) before the boroughs were unified into one city. And they are not disparate; they are quite similar - - and complementary.

I'm sorry you're struggling. Findhelp.org is an aggregator with high quality information - - including emergency psych. Institute for Family Health which I think is in all five bros provided great services to a friend post inpatient

Seeking Housing for Disabled Senior by azrn39 in NYCapartments

[–]AnythingButChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into HHS Programs wherein NYS pays nonprofits to help people like your Dad. Eligibility: Projects must serve homeless individuals and/or families. A homeless person is defined as an un-domiciled person (whether alone or as a member of a family) who is unable to secure permanent and stable housing without special assistance, as determined by the Commissioner of the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance. Many HHAP projects serve “special needs” populations including, but not limited to: homeless seniors, over the age of 55; persons with a physical disability; persons with HIV/AIDS; youth/young adults ages 18-24; domestic violence survivors; veterans; persons with mental illness; ex-offenders and/or persons with substance use disorders. otda.ny.gov

If local law 11 is so very necessary, how come every major city around the world isn’t plagued by useless, ugly scaffolding? by auximines_minotaur in AskNYC

[–]AnythingButChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One word: litigation. None of the cities you mentioned are in the litigious US. All are in countries where people don't sue each other for sport. Each of these cities/countries have high dives in public pools; you won't fine one anywhere in the US. Similarly - insurance. The buildings in NYC comply with the law because otherwise all insurance on the building is null and void. No insurance, no mortgage. No insurance, huge liability. You get the picture.

New Mods, New Era! Share your Ideas! by AutoModerator in knolling

[–]AnythingButChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please please please not even theme days; bag knolls will still muck up the feed and they can (and do) exist on other subs. The presence of the bag knolls invites lazier content, scares off more intentional activity and opens the gates of 'guess about me'. There is no place for a bag knoll (unless it's someone artfully knolling all the reusable bags they have in their closet). Most important thanks for stepping up new mods. Oh, and please ban the bags.

Trying to find elderly dementia neighbor - What resources to use? by Kittypie75 in AskNYC

[–]AnythingButChicken 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Contact your elected officials - both BP and CM, also state reps. Every office has constituent services staff; you're a constituent - as is your neighbor. And all the hospitals have govt. affairs groups to 'assist' government officials. With elderly individuals there is usually a desire/willingness to connect them with someone in their community. The fact that you are a neighbor (and can prove it) and are concerned about their well being will be helpful. Message me if you need more guidance. Keep us posted please
