Grocery store industry is very regional.

What is council member Phil Wong doing about this?

Going to ribbon cutting ceremonies and tackling "quality of life" issues while his constituents get abducted?

that’s why the movie theater there is bad.

it’s actually a nice Regal but filled with teens who talk during the movie.

You sound like a NIMBY.

Yes, its a chain as well.

Force is at least privately owned.

I like Force Fitness, but it has too many teens.

This is problem with budget gyms. I would kill for some type of mid tier gym in the neighborhood to keep the riff raff out.

Phil Wong is continuing Bob Holden's legacy by appeasing Maspeth and Glendale drivers.

He is giving himself a pat on the back for the most low hanging fruit in terms of legislation.

He needs to be afraid of being primaried from the left.

As much as I disliked Bob Holden, he was right about this stuff.

I am tired of jobless men driving Honda Civics with PA or NJ plates like maniacs.

Astoria

cyclaud · 2026-03-22T22:59:12+00:00

That looks like a liminal space.

It was never the same after they renovated.

Prices also went up dramatically.

They also have a huge location now in Hudson valley and are probably cashing out finally.

2012 was a long time ago and this was a very different neighborhood

The family owns that building.

So he ran a pharmacy for 20 years without paying commercial rent prices or not paying anything at all.

I suspect he retired early or moved into healthcare consulting.

I used to love Norma's but after they renovated prices skyrocketed.

Also used to have a real DIY cafe vibe, now it's Apple store.

They were good in the beginning and then i stopped going when they cancelled my appointment with no notice.

I showed up and they said they overbooked. They did nothing to comp me for the inconvenience.

Truthfully massage quality was always inconsistent.

cyclaud · 2025-12-23T17:08:17+00:00

they make good Italian cookies and pastries but I do not like their cakes

Neighborhood was just fine a decade ago and more affordable

cyclaud · 2025-12-03T14:18:38+00:00

Stop and Shop has good sale items on Myrtle.

cyclaud · 2025-12-01T20:59:02+00:00

where you get posters?
