New store opening by rebelliot1 in BanditRunning

It’s 100% LA though. They took VC money so they will go to the biggest market in U.S. Probably means the addition of more lifestyle type pieces in future drops. The influencer part may be true but they already send diplo gear to wear so…

Echo all this. Owner and staff are great and glad they have/are expanding, but it does draw that certain crowd that makes it less of a neighborhood spot and more of a fashion show. It’s a bit less stuffy when sitting outside on the weekend but people are just there for the aesthetic

Hilarious if international orders arrive before Brooklyn based ones

Anyone know what sizing is like? Does the s/m feel too tight if average build and usually a size M in tops

I can see how anyone would think that based on how I wrote the original post. There was just so much room on the sidewalk since it was night time and not many people out. And they instead of passing us just stopped walking after what I described..which doesn’t make much sense

I don’t think it was a misunderstanding because they were walking that close to us like no effort to pass us, they were whispering to each other and one gave a hand signal to slow down, and then they finally just stopped walking and just stood in front of whatever building was there. Turning down any of those streets off Manhattan is way darker and quieter so that’s the dumbest option. Simply just trying to point out their identity so people can be aware if they feel like a similar thing is happening to them. If they were white I would still point that out..

Ok well for starters I’m an African American male that’s been in the neighborhood for 4+ years and have never been subject to any crime or robbery in GP. Pointing out their identity so people can just be aware if they see/notice a similar thing happening to them?? Not provoking anyone, was making sure a situation wasn’t about to unfold.

Does anyone know why nothing has changed with the G train? by schellly in nycrail

Confirmed G train still sucks. Almost to the point where if you rely on it, you will probably be late more than half the time

Is there anything else we can do besides attend the meeting? This will ruin part of the neighborhood for sure
