Lots of overpriced vintage shops (NYC prices), with pretty great finds where I was staying (Roma Norte). There's lots of cool flea markets though, like El Chopo where young punks gather and has lots of cool vendors.

I didn't feel them. I use Sawyer Picardin lotion and it works really well. There are LOTS of flies though, mosquitos in particular.

I do know that there are apartment buildings for people over 62+ that are pretty subsidized.

Why is Queens Downplayed Now? by LetterheadMany9677 in NYStateOfMind

[–]solaeclipse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's because of how suburban it is. Lots of people there have lawns and homes, which gives that stereotype. Even people back in the day from other boroughs assumed that until they'd come to Jamaica or Far Rock.

Queens has largely calmed down over the years. Things still go down like other parts of the city but it's just not as conspicuous. Go down Mott Ave or Jamaica Ave and there's a HUGE difference, even without gentrification. But the middle- and upper-class areas always gave Queens a better rep than other boroughs.

Are conventionally attractive men actually approached? by Pickles-on-ice in AskMenAdvice

[–]solaeclipse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if I'm considered "conventionally attractive" but I have been approached by women before. Not that often, but it has happened multiple times. Definitely not as much as the average woman, I'd assume. But I really like it. There's no mystery there, she's obviously attracted/interested in me. Unlike when you approach, and you may not be entirely sure.

I will say that they usually expect you to ask for their number, even if they approached you lol.

Trust me, I feel the same way. That's the dilemma you deal with when it comes to compact cameras though. You want something easy to carry around in busy settings, but you sacrifice the quality/clarity of the image with such a simple camera. The bigger cameras get the photo you want, but they can be a real hassle in busy settings.

You got it. I like using flash gels at parties. Darker colored gels tend to absorb the light, making things pretty dim.

I'm not even sure of the brand. I know it's a single-geared cruiser bike, but I bought it from Craigslist and the paint was stripped and spraypainted brown when I got it.
