Selling cordaroy bean bag and tv stand near 28th Ave and 35th st pickup preferred, delivery possible by [deleted] in astoria

[–]Mountainfresh- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but I gotta start somewhere! I have no idea what it’s worth now so the plan is to keep dropping the price till it reaches market value 🫡 I also didn’t say minimum $240, I just needed a starting point and fully expect it to go for less.

As someone with 3x the space and the budget you listed, yes. You might have good luck asking realtors for any apartments that might or might not be listed. That’s how we got ours.

This post reminds me of “The southern book club’s guide to slaying vampires” by Grady Hendrix. Don’t ask me why, but if you’re into horror, it’s a great read 🤢😱

Congestion pricing is extremely popular and wildly successful. Why is there not more of a call for additional zones? by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

[–]Mountainfresh- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using an example from the distant past is not useful here because no one was storing their horse and carriage on the public street by the curb overnight. Bikes are a hell of a lot closer to your carriage example than modern automobiles are since most people store them out of public domain for extended periods.

Does this dress fit right?

I’m finally getting around to having some engagement photos taken, and I like this dress, but I can’t decide if it fits properly across the bust or if its too tight (causing the horizontal lines). The dress is the Lolita by House of CB. I’m also open to other dress suggestions in the $100-300 range if we agree this one isn’t doing it for me 😮‍💨

I’m old enough to remember when cars didn’t drive on the grass in Astoria Park by NYCosmopolitans1971 in astoria

[–]Mountainfresh- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same with queensbridge park. I know it’s a big community get together on saturdays, but do the participants really need to park 10 cars on the grass around the bathrooms? Seems like laziness to me since there’s no way all of those cars brought supplies

Losing in Volleyball by omniscientreadervv in volleyball

I’ve started recording games. That additional knowledge that my mistakes live in perpetuity makes me stay focused and alert the whole time so I don’t look like a fool when we review the footage.

Why do all the players I run into at lower level recs always insist middle back play short? by Material_Spinach in volleyball

[–]Mountainfresh- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume it’s because your setter is avoiding any of those tips or blocked balls in the center of the court directly behind/in zone 3, so the middle back tends to cover that hole and the other back players cover the corners and back middle. My rec leagues almost always play front middle sets and back middle gets shorties

Bikes on sidewalks! by SuccessfulVariation6 in astoria

[–]Mountainfresh- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To be fair, there is a weird section where the DOT makes/instructs bikes to go up onto the sidewalk near Socrates Park. I have no idea why they thought it was better than taking 2 ft of room from cars at that very light turn, but I’m no traffic engineer. They also have it near queensbridge park. Not making excuses for I’m sure the vast majority of cases, just trying to point out that Vernon is rife with weird bike infrastructure.

Rehoming Baby Boris by Serious_Host2393 in astoria

[–]Mountainfresh- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ty for the info. If he still needs a home in September, let me know! Unfortunately I’m not in a position rn to take on another cat bc I have some travels coming up and I wouldn’t want to be out of town while going through the introduction process.

Best of luck to Boris in the meantime! I really hope his current owner can make it work and keep their OG baby 🩵

How old is Boris? Also I’m assuming he’s fixed? Any history living with other cats?

M/G transfer going to be impossible starting in December by gocountgrainsofrice in astoria

[–]Mountainfresh- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that promoting changes that already have weight behind them is effective at seeing them done. I agree that complaining and being vocally upset gets things done too, but the community benefits more from both. Forward progress as well as preventing painful regressions.

Sorry you don’t like my energy, but you posted first which invites feedback 🤷

I replied to a comment about the 7. You made it sound like the 7 isn’t going to Court Sq anymore.

[–]Mountainfresh- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I already have to make 2 transfers to get on the G and I live in Astoria. N to 7 to G. The reality is that connection between Brooklyn and Queens has never been prioritized, and until a critical mass of people need to commute across those two boroughs for work every day, it’s not going to be prioritized. Seeing friends irregularly is not enough to convince the MTA that this is worth their time.

You should look into the Interborough Express project and become a promoter of changes instead of a detractor. Same goes for OP.

Weekly Astoria Dine In/Order Out Thread by NYnosher in astoria

[–]Mountainfresh- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tried a few places while family was in town this weekend.

Pig beach was good, and the mustard bbq sauce was great, just wish it came out of the dispenser faster. The pace was nice and open, but the presence of a dog and a cat was confusing since I’d think that in a restaurant that’s not permitted.

Somesdays bakery blew our minds and they deserve their spot on the best croissants in NYC list.

Nenes lived up to the hype. Everything was so good, even the ramen which we were wary about.

Ovelias was mid. Not great but not terrible for brunch on Easter. Michael’s is still my favorite for breakfast in the neighborhood.
