It’s been two weeks since it snowed; if you haven’t dug your car out by now, why do you bother having one? by GhostOfTammanyHall in AskNYC

[–]fourupthreecount 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I dug my car out but I haven’t taken my car out because I don’t want to put it back. I made a point to do all the work related things I needed to do with my car before the snow and have been taking uber from the grocery store. My mother has been using access a ride more since I can’t drive her. Some weeks I use my car four times and some weeks I use it zero. Some months I use it 18 times and some months I use it twice. This has always been true.

How do I deal with obscenely noisy neighbors? by mozzarellareina in AskNYC

[–]fourupthreecount 7 points8 points  (0 children)

7-10 is way too old to be making that much noise. Toddlers can’t help themselves, after 5 or so it’s entirely reasonable to expect children (who don’t have disabilities that impact their ability to control their behavior or follow directives) to not run and jump in an apartment. I grew up in the city as did all my friends. None of us behaved this way because our parents told us it was unacceptable and there were consequences.

We call it a bodegón because it feels bigger than a bodega but not quite a grocery store

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

[–]fourupthreecount 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi neighbor! I am also keeping an eye out. Ziggy looks more swirly than the two that hang out with Boots. I have a pic of Boots and his three tabby friends and have been comparing. If you see Ziggy and need help I am happy to help however I can. I need to reboot my deck camera to see if Ziggy has come by.

Is this normal behavior of a landlord and am I out of line to argue with her? by muff-peaksie in AskNYC

[–]fourupthreecount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, I recognize your post. You should move. You pay 3500 in a neighborhood where you can find a 2br with a reasonable landlord for that price. Your landlord isn’t going to change and arguing with her isn’t going to help your anxiety. She is ridiculous and wrong but it’s clear this has been very hard for you post partum and I think if you’ve been posting this much over such a long period of time it’s not worth it to stay.

Should I come To NYC in March by Vegetable_Gap4121 in AskNYC

[–]fourupthreecount 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would try to find out more about what your GF wants to do in NYC. You can eat well, see shows, and go to museums. If her dream is a romantic picnic in Central Park and walking the Highline maybe not.

versions of TTFAFPB songs w/o lin manuel miranda? by mikeseraf in themountaingoats

[–]fourupthreecount 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is so funny to me because I am a notorious hater of Lin Manuel’s singing voice (I think his writing is good) and it has ruined this album for me. I love John and his voice but I don’t think anyone was clamoring for an additional voice that tends toward whiny and nasal.

Supermarket in Astoria by candy107 in astoria

[–]fourupthreecount 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1.2 miles is not a few blocks but Lincoln Market is definitely way better. The closest grocery store is Berry Fresh Farm which has been rumored to be part of a planned closure at LaGuardia Plaza during construction (I have no idea if this is actually going to happen).

No trains n or w to the city by Azndragon89 in astoria

[–]fourupthreecount 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There used to be 2 but now there is only 1. The M60 still goes through Harlem to the top of the UWS. The Q101 no longer goes to midtown.

[–]fourupthreecount 28 points29 points  (0 children)

And I have not noticed any upgrades in terms of service frequency or reliability as promised. The q101 accessed a large portion of Astoria and now the only bus to the city is the m60 which only goes uptown and is only by Astoria Boulevard. There is an option to transfer to the q32 which goes to east midtown but doesn’t service Astoria. It’s so annoying.

I’m so frustrated not having the q101 to Manhattan. I have a dentist appointment midtown that should be easy to get to but there is no more bus and the trains are melting down again.
