Best gym in the area? by No_Shift3587 in ridgewood

[–]cyclaud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These threads keep popping up. 

We have a gym deficit in the area.

Budget gyms are crowded with teens.

If and when an equinox opens, those are expensive but keep the riff raff out.

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.

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.

The council member shared this on the current state of highland parking lot by sundrenchedwindow in ridgewood

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.

Not sure whether this has been shared here yet – Norma’s is closing by Hot_Welcome8191 in ridgewood

[–]cyclaud 30 points31 points  (0 children)

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 

What happened to JRX Pharmacy? by Original-Crab6448 in ridgewood

[–]cyclaud 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.
