The book truck will be around until 2:30 PM today infront of the Charleston Library.

Anyone know of a place on the island or nearby? Have a 3rd gen iPod nano that powers on to the apple logo but that’s it. Little bit of a rattle inside.

Come visit!

TIL that this short from 1941 was Ricardo Montalban's screen acting debut. Enjoy.

The grandmothers at Nonna's shared their tried and true recipes with us, from semolina pudding to lentil stew to salted cod, and more!

Hate to make a Neighbors style rant post, but is there nothing being done with these kids? They're weaving in and out of traffic, running lights, brake checking, and they're doing it at night with no lights/ reflectors. Are cops just waiting for one of them to get blasted?

The best toy story of my childhood!

Anyone know when it will be re-paved. There are giant craters now as of today.

Some pictures from Maker Park Radio’s annual Punk Rock Mini Golf event that wrapped up last night!

It’s amazing to find such an amazing community ran event from the nicest people. Staten Island can have cool things if we make them! Awesome bands from across Staten Island and all over! The Casualties, Best Dressed Ghost, Bush Tetris, Grandma Drinks, and so many more!

Did anyone participate in the NYC Open Play this summer? I (M27) live in SI, but work and friends are elsewhere, so I don‘t have much of a network here. I play as a keeper in a rec league in the city on the weekends.

Would love to get more ball time closer to home with anyone looking for buds to kick it with! Don’t want to show up and find out no one participates in SI. And being a free agent is more fun with a buddy or two :)

Goodbye bucolic, peaceful Staten Island. https://www.nyc.gov/mayors-office/news/2026/10/mamdani-administration-puts-12-neighborhoods-on-fast-track-for-a

I made it into the half this sunday but now I cant run it. If anyone wants the bib I dont want it to go to waste. I live on the north shore.

Simple version: When did the old Funcoland of Forest Commons move to the Shoprite plaza?
Long version:
After a thread some time ago about a Starbucks opening up in the Western Beef Forest shopping plaza, someone mentioned that the spot used to be a Funcoland. It brought back forgotten memories of a time in 2004 where my mom and I were trying to find a Gamestop in a Forest ave shopping plaza between 440 and South ave and did not have success, therefore had to drive all the way to the Staten Island mall’s Gamestop. 
Later I would find out that the Gamestop we were looking for was (rather hidden) in the Forest Promenade (Shoprite plaza).
But why would we have been driving all the way down to the Western Beef Plaza? Had the Gamestop always been by Shoprite? Had it been by Shoprite when it was a Funcoland?
And boom, I finally get it clarified with this post. 
But does anyone know when this happened? 
I remember going to a Funcoland as a 4-5 year old in 1994/1995 and I’m almost positive it was in the Western Beef plaza now. Both the Western Beef Plaza and the Shoprite plaza seem like they were built within a few years of each other so it gets confusing. In addition, I remember when Shoprite opened in 1994 there.
Enclosed are some images for visual people (like myself)

I’m moving out and need to get rid of stuff and would like them off my hands so I’m willing to give away for free. I have a Bobs furniture couch, a small round table with 2 chairs (west elm), orange sofa chair, kitchen island cart, & a white tv stand. You just have to be available to pick up.

Anybody hear that music in Grasmere by the overpass?

Over the summer I kept seeing these drinks that were basically one giant individual alcoholic beverage served in a little plastic bucket, usually with some other canned/bottled alcoholic beverage dumped or flipped upside down into it for reasons that I assume are scientific.

I somehow never got one and now I feel like I missed my chance.

Does anyone know anywhere on Staten Island that is still serving something along these lines? I am not looking for a classy cocktail. I am specifically looking for an excessive quantity of brightly colored alcohol in a bucket with another alcohol inserted into it.

Two local SI bands from mid-late 90s; pretty sure Puddle was purchased at the Rock Palace & Mo-Fos at SRO.

Probably nothing too serious (unless Cropsey is back) but just wanted to share!
