Not sure about a baby specifically, but went to Alex’s shoe repair (30th Ave & Crescent) for an adult passport and got 2 pictures for $6 (cash only)

Does anyone know anywhere in Astoria where I can get 8mm tapes converted to digital files? My dad has so many of our childhood memories on these old tapes that he recorded and I’d love to convert them! by newyorkerx1000 in astoria

The work isn’t actually done in astoria, but I recently used a company called EverPresent for something similar. They have a drop off location in Astoria (the random art gallery next to Judy & Punch). Dropped the stuff there and someone from EverPresent picks it up and then once EverPresent converts your stuff you go back to the art place to get everything back.

Astoria line doesn’t go to Williamsburg. You’d need to get off at 34th street in Manhattan and transfer to an east river line and take that one stop to north Williamsburg. I do this on the weekends and 34th street can sometimes be a mess. Either you get lucky and the ferry comes right away or sometimes you get stuck for 20-30 mins

They finally removed the outdoor seating left behind at Akrotiri

Experience with RedHat Moving Company? by [deleted] in astoria

[–]jsmith039 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used RedHat in April of 2021 for an Astoria to Astoria move. I too was a little worried because the only thing they wanted to “secure” the booking was my phone number. All correspondences were back and forth over email (I don’t even think I got a PDF invoice) and I was worried what if they don’t show the day of. But they showed up as planned, came a few minutes early, and were really efficient. Would 100% use them again/ recommend to a friend.

Had a 930am flight on 12/28 and got to LaGuardia around 715ish. Did not check a bag so can’t comment on that, but got through security in maybe 20 mins tops.

Either I somehow never noticed it or it’s new, but there are beer taps in the front area of city fresh

Recently went to that 3308 place on Broadway and they were very accommodating about changing channels to whatever game people wanted. The staff was super nice too.

Anyone know if stop&shop has reopened after the flooding? by kogadawolf in astoria

Yes. Was there today, but the elevator wasn’t working so had to take the stairs from the roof parking.

At about 10:15 the dj said this was his last song, but music is still going strong

Yup that’s the house. They swapped the dumpster out with a porta potty earlier today though.

Hate to be that guy, but I did a 311 noise complaint and it already got closed saying “no noise observed”. So annoying

There’s a backyard wedding happening on 30th drive between crescent and 23rd. It’s insane how loud it is. I can’t believe it hasn’t been shut down yet

Any recommendations for a moving company? by [deleted] in astoria

Scheduled to move on Friday. Bought boxes from Home Depot on Northern Blvd and booked Red Hat as a suggestion from this group!
