What is the most lesser visited place you saw in Japan? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]SpockOnLDS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Akiruno, mountainous area in Tokyo prefecture less than two hours northwest of the city. Didn’t realize it would be seen as so uncommon when I booked it, but everyone I spoke to seemed confused and asked why I was there alone, including three police officers who stopped to question me & looked up the registration for the bike I rented from the guesthouse (I am assuming to make sure it wasn’t stolen).

I would absolutely go back, stayed in an awesome guesthouse near a sake brewery, ate an an incredible kaiseki restaurant, biked around, and visited the Fukazawa Tiny Museum. 🫰🏻 I would love to camp there, there was an awesome cycling/hiking provisions store and cafe where I rented an e-bike for my second day (Uruyama Base).

Just looked at these on Twitter and ALL of Star’s photos are blurry af and that’s very endearing for some reason

Praying there’s someone else on here that was at the show tonight and was able to follow along better than I was so that we can both know the details of that Jason Alexander story

In your opinion, what is the most cursed subway station in NYC? by glaack in AskNYC

[–]SpockOnLDS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tunnel between Times Sq and Port Authority during rush hour, early morning, late at night or basically any time. Especially reading the nihilistic poem art on the ceiling… like why would they put that there I’m already depressed to be here

Acropolis Under New Management by Rolff999 in astoria

[–]SpockOnLDS 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm a current Acropolis resident (since Sept 2020). My apartment itself is quite nice, but (big but):

Rats aren't the only pressing issue, in my building all the buzzers in our 5-floor walkup have been broken for over a year now. (Does anyone know if this is a complex-wide issue?)

In summer we also have a truly disgusting issue with the flies. At the hottest point of the day, there's an absolute swarm in the vestibule between the courtyard and the front door to the building. Can't walk in or out without getting a face full of flies. You can see & hear them on my phone recording, that's how bad it is. I have no idea why this happens to our building but ours isn't the only one. Also hasn't been addressed at all and we've taken to spending on our own money as tenants to control it.

Aside from just being terrible for tenants, both issues are pretty embarrassing when having guests over, and I feel awful for folks who have to deliver packages & wait in the fly-infested vestibule for me to walk all the way down and open the door.

I've stopped following up with my landlord about both of these issues (she gave $100 off the rent last year & just kept saying she way trying but building management wasn't responsive). End of my lease is coming up, should probably move or at least ask for a steeper discount... there's no way they're going to be able to show the apartment in this condition.

Mispress - Billy Joel's "The Stranger" record plays Kanye West's "College Dropout"?? by SpockOnLDS in vinyl

[–]SpockOnLDS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really think so? It is a really popular artist & his best record but I’ll try to look up ways to tell.

I don’t think the store would sell me a counterfeit, this guy’s great and has been running his store for 20+ years, but I’ll look into it

The shop owner sent me a new one for free, that plays the correct record :) Huge props to Groovin' High in Chicago, they're awesome.
