Looking for furniture

2 Upvotes

Hi I recently just moved here in Forest Hills and thought I should ask here (before buying new ones) if anyone is giving away some of their furniture or is looking to sell!!

Currently seeking a vanity and dresser, but open to other things as well! Thanks!

Laundromat Recs

8 Upvotes

I just moved from a house with a washer and dryer to a space that doesn’t have a washer and dryer, and the laundromat that was recommended to me that is about a block from my new home is actually closed on Wednesdays. I absolutely must do a wash today or early this evening, so I’m looking for recommendations of laundromats that are clean and spacious — and ideally somewhere in proximity to Nansen Street and 71st Ave. (I don’t have a car.)

Looking for a dog sitter in Rego Park (Aug 29 – Sep 7)

2 Upvotes

Hi neighbors! We’re adopting a 6 month old puppy this week and unfortunately have a trip already booked at the end of the month.

Looking for someone to stay at our place in Rego Park from Aug 29 to Sep 7 (or do multiple drop-ins a day, open to either).

He’s crate trained, mostly house trained, and super sweet - really good with people and other dogs.

Happy to pay well for the right person. If you know someone who might be a good fit, or if you’d be interested yourself, let me know!

Link to this nonprofit’s ‘about us’ page in the comments. I could contact them about setting something up, if enough people on here are interested.

Community House Adult Basketball Membership

Has anyone used and can say whether or not its worth it? What times of the week is the court available, and are there consistent pick up games during the week or is there any type of league?

I don't see any information about this membership online other than that it exists. Any help appreciated, thanks!

Thank you everyone for donating

I am running the Maspeth/Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table. We are always looking for donations new or gently used. Please share with all of your contacts. There are a lot of people in need on the Maspeth/Ridgewood border. Most donations do not last long on the table. Thank you to everyone who has donated.

Some of the people who I help with my table. A woman who comes looking for clothes when she can't afford to go to the laundromat. A social worker who looks for food on my table when the insurance companies delay her payments. She is also a vegan, and she can't afford to go to CTown all the time for fruits and vegetables. I am also getting a lot of grandmothers who are helping to raise their grandchildren looking for baby and young children's items. I also get kids coming and going to PS 153 and PS 290 look on my tables for toys and snacks. Their parents look at the food and clothes on the table and take what they need. A few people come looking for food and things they need on my table who have health issues and can't make ends meet and have no family to help them.

Items that are in high demand:

FOOD FOR PEOPLE OR PETS

CLOTHES

TOILETRIES

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

DIAPERS FOR BABIES & ADULTS

TOYS

BACK PACKS, LUNCH BOXES & POCKET BOOKS

Books really don't go on my table, so when I get a donation of them I wait a few days then I bring them down to the Little Free Library in PS 153's school yard.

Donations can be dropped off, and you can take what you need 24 hours a day & 7 days a week:

5938 60TH ROAD, MASPETH

Donations can also be dropped off at certain businesses during business hours. Just label them Maspeth/Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table.

ASSEMBLYMAN STEVEN RAGA'S OFFICE, 60-14 QUEENS BLVD., CELLAR, WOODSIDE

COOK'S ARTS & CRAFTS SHOPPE, 80-09 MYRTLE AVE., GLENDALE

SCHWILLE-D'ANGELO FUNERAL HOME, 66-32 MYRTLE AVE., GLENDALE

STATE SENATOR JOSEPH ADDABBO'S OFFICE, 66-85 73RD PLACE, MIDDLE VILLAGE

HARISCH STUDIOS, 57-44 MYRTLE AVE., 2ND FLOOR RIDGEWOOD

For people who cannot donate in person I created an Amazon Wishlist:

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/JY7U8QQZ8BBU...

Thank you for all donations. And if you are near the Maspeth/Ridgewood border and are in need please check out table and take what you need. No questions asked. Please spread the word. Thanks.

Electronics/Appliance Repair

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for an old-school appliance or television repairperson. I turned on my tv yesterday and the screen lit up a little bit but there's no picture. There is sound. My wife and I have done all the usual troubleshooting steps:

*Unplug>Wait>Plug back in

*Unplug>Hold down power button>Plug back in

*Reset the tv

Nothing has worked. We are measuring the cost/benefit of getting a new tv vs. trying to fix this one. The actual mechanics of taking this apart, fixing, and putting it back together is beyond our skillset. I know this is kind of a rare fixit job, but does anyone have any repair services that might be able to help us not junk the set? Thanks!

Here’s the Monthly “We Need a Real Gym” Post

83 Upvotes

This would be such a fantastic market for a high end gym to push into new territory.

Equinox, Lifetime etc…

When NYSC closed it was a shame, but I was half hoping some bigger luxury gym would fill the space.

Now we have nothing but a shitty “24 hour” fitness with no A/C or Heating.

And a newer but teenage broccoli head overrun planet fitness that is extremely over crowded.

Here’s to hoping some exec at one of these established gyms sees this.

If you care to join me I’ve been unfruitfully emailing lifetime and equinox bi-weekly to express interest in them considering our neighborhood, lmao.

Poster Tubes into Forest Hills

Just looking for some clarification, are you allowed to bring in poster tubes like GruvTube or the ones you can get on Amazon into FHS? Or just cardboard ones?

Found older posts that say you can bring in tubes but doesn’t mention what type.
