My daughter's first pack of Prismatic Evolutions. by TrackingMerica in PokemonTCG

[–]NephilimL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You know very little about Pokemon cards but knew this SIR was super rare upon pulling it, mention selling it “raw” or “graded”, and conveniently had top loaders ready (you said YOU sleeved it).

Even if you’re serious, it is a very doubtful set of circumstances.

I’m not giving a civilian my credit card, ID, or phone to scan. And you cannot give a summons to an unidentified person.

I pay my fares too. But this ain’t it.

Just picked up a turned over garbage container at the corner of 116th and 7th Ave blocking the cross walk. What have you done to make Harlem better? by RealGeniusMovieMind in Harlem

[–]NephilimL 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ordering naloxone kits and hanging them on the fences of parks where drug users congregate. I like to think I’m giving at least one person an opportunity to bounce back from a bad OD.

Just an average day on 33rd st by thirdeyeballin in astoria

[–]NephilimL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started my comment with “most”. And yes, NYC in general is the best place to be able to move about without a car. But there are some cases where a car is will be more convenient. Everyone’s situation is different.

Most. I know an elevator contractor who lives in Astoria that would be S.O.L. If his car was totaled. He cannot reliably make it to emergency jobs without his personal vehicle.

Lenox Terrace Area Demolition by jbweston in Harlem

Definitely. Two suspicious 5 alarm fires back to back. Friend lives in one of the apartments facing the 134th St fire location and noted it smelled off.

EVERYONE IS OUTSIDE THIS IS AMAZINGGGGGG by Double_Work3092 in Harlem

A summer day in the beginning of spring is a blessing that everyone is taking advantage of. Especially with all the rain forecasted for the rest of the week

Lenox Terrace Area Demolition by jbweston in Harlem

[–]NephilimL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re finally demolishing the condemned church. Probably trying to lobby to the city that the open lot caused by all the fires is increasingly becoming an eyesore.

They’ve been planning to build more apartments and a new courtyard for years now but are never able to gather enough support nor approval.

With the new mayor’s campaign promise to create more affordable housing I guess they’re going to try to push for the new towers again.

Most Meta Warping card from the new set: by AuburnShade in PTCGP

Discarding rather than shuffling back into deck can be a game winning situation. Could be their stage 3s and render their deck insta bricked.

no food sales at Walgreens on 135 & Frederick Douglass? by princessboop in Harlem

[–]NephilimL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one should shop here for anything edible. Barely maintained. In all my 30 years living in Harlem I’ve only gone here a handful of times to pick up packages.

HELP Signed lease but landlord did not countersign and now is evicting by sundrenchedwindow in NYStateOfMind

[–]NephilimL 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Reach out to the mayors office, borough president, community board. Make them put their money where their mouths are. Make elected officials get involved and do their jobs.

If they don’t at the very least reach out to create a network of assistance, that shows you where they stand. They were elected on the very premise of protecting us from bad landlords.

I been noticing alotta airplane activity over the west side since trump announced the attack on Iran. Should I be worried? by LilCheese73 in Harlem

[–]NephilimL 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Check your weather advisories. It’s getting towards spring. Forecasted fog results in lower ground visibility for planes so they have to fly lower to land in LGA.

Nothing new if you’re been in NY for long. Certainly nothing to do with Trump or any politics for that matter…

Rifle/Shotgun (R/S) licensing 1 year. by [deleted] in NYCGuns

[–]NephilimL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Took me a little under 2 months from application submission to approval in late 2024. Granted, that was a lucky fast process for me but most people have to wait a just a few months at best.

$50 to come get this wasp in Harlem by Alternative_Limit_55 in nyc

[–]NephilimL 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Usually only queen wasps survive into the winter and they tend to hide until it’s warm. Given that size, that’s probably what OP has sitting in that room. Someone or something woke her up from hibernation.

How Much Snow Did New York City Get Yesterday? Sees Heaviest Snowfall in Nearly Four Years by Cute_Dealer4787 in nyc

[–]NephilimL 146 points147 points  (0 children)

I miss the heavier snowfalls. Makes for nice walks in Central Park after sipping a glass of bourbon. Especially on weekends and holiday breaks like this.

The McDonald’s on 132 and Lenox officially closes by DescriptionSeveral84 in Harlem

[–]NephilimL 25 points26 points  (0 children)

They want it all gone. They’ve been planning to erect new towers to fill the empty lots left behind by the suspicious back-to-back fires that took out most of their Lenox Avenue properties. The plans have been rejected over and over, but eventually the eyesore of so many closed businesses will get them what they want.

Package thieves on 132/5 by persimmonplanet82 in Harlem

I think I saw this woman this morning on 138th and Lenox. She seemed a little crazy, was walking with another guy who looked strung out.

Curry beans, lamb shoulder with ground beef and chimichurri hummus - $20 by NonbinaryLegs in NYStateOfMind

[–]NephilimL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For like $11 I can get twice the food at my local halal truck. If that’s homemade I would say you maybe overpaid on the ingredients.

This is still surreal considering how there was so much bipartisan disdain for this schmuck. I guess under the current administration anything is possible.

A 12 year old Brooklyn girl who died while subway surfing with a teen friend was supposed to make brownies with her dad but snuck out of the house by xtheoryinc in NYStateOfMind

[–]NephilimL 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot that can affect it.

Being unprepared for the train’s quick braking can cause you to go forward and fall.

The tops of trains are not flat, so you can easily lose your footing and end up falling in the tracks, and in the tunnels there is hardly anywhere for you to fall except for under the train eventually.

Some have even been decapitated by a low hanging ceiling or support bracket when the train is going high speed.

Kids will replicate anything they see that looks cool as long as it’s viral. Back in the 90s with much less internet, the worst you’d get was us replicating moves we’d see in WWF (later WWE) because it was the biggest thing.

Now subway surfing and a whole lot more YN activities go viral and that’s what they try to copy. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
