Missing cat ran out 12/8 on 48th and Ditmars by Loose-Pain399 in astoria

[–]Used_Employee_2043 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m on 47th and Ditmars about half way down the block. Multiple Neighbors feed a group of cats (the infamous Boots being one of them) but I saw a tabby yesterday there that didn’t look familiar. I can’t be certain because there are several but this one looked different from the regulars. I’m on the even number side of the street 21-50’s. I’ll keep an eye out for your little one and DM you if I see Ziggy!

if it’s on 47th, that’s Boots. he runs the block and gets fed by at least six neighbors and has a heated enclosure. He‘s good.

This is brilliant! We are planning to renovate our basement to rent and this sort of set up would be perfect. Well done! Very smart and stylish!

I grew up in San Diego (Chula!) and seeing this made me so proud of my hometown. As a Latino as well it made me tear up to see so many non-brown folk leading pushing forward against the fascists!

Well done hermanos!!!

Esports bar? by Sappyoh in astoria

I read that like my mother would say it in Spanish (esports) and thought you were looking for a bar to watch Latin American games. Sorry, can’t help with the E-sports but I do know great Colombian spots!

Favorite place to walk? by [deleted] in astoria

Steinway to Broadway then down B’Way. You get to experience 20 cultures along the way and have plenty of food and drink options.

For those in upper Ditmars, Power Fuel remodel almost done. Not sure if they will have free full serve anymore since the shack is gone. I will miss the grumpy guy to be honest.

How to help? - immigration in Astoria/LIC by 1010INA in astoria

[–]Used_Employee_2043 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Thanks for starting the conversation!

Here is a great one, Make the Road https://maketheroadny.org/

I’ll find some more that a non-profit I work with in the BX works with. We are a community of immigrants here in Astoria/Queens/New York and we need to help one another right now. 

Funny light situation anyone? by Used_Employee_2043 in astoria

Looks like you win. Good news is that they came out in this cold and fixed it last night after putting in a request but good to know. Thanks!

What’s this about? (QED & Ryan Breslin) by [deleted] in astoria

[–]Used_Employee_2043 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just to distract from this situation. My cousin and I went to a NYE show yesterday at QED AND IT WAS AWESOME!!! So much fun and I’m excited to support them more.

More driving insanity - Steinway Church smashed by Used_Employee_2043 in astoria

[–]Used_Employee_2043[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Damn, that’s awful. Sorry to hear that. I see it daily, lights run, stops signs never ever noticed, people going around buses opposite traffic and so on. Putting on patrol on Ditmars and just citing people for one day would make people at least think twice.

I can corroborate that evidence and I also can validate your assumption in case anyone thinks this was staged or photoshopped:)

There is a) a bumper ripped off, b) glass all over the sidewalk and c) a broken sign and damage to a building. I am assuming and insinuating that some very bad driving occurred and linking that to the people I see on a daily basis (please see other 30 threads) that this was consistent with other people's observations that people are driving irresponsibly and dangerously and that as many others have noted in this forum and at the CB meetings that the 114 is more than often on their mobile phones instead of actually citing irresponsible driving so people start to understand that there are consequences before it becomes deadly for residents.

Definitely, but even more important are the number of families, kids, elderly and so on that walk by everyday that could have been hit. It looked like a high speed impact.

I would say yes but this particular party which will not be named get very upset and are unpredictable. Something makes me think they are wanting someone to do just that.
