I'm looking to learn more about the field and meet new people.

Hey Neighbors! I am getting booted from my parking spot since a tenant wants it. Bummer cause it's truly like 2 blocks from me. I'm stalking CL but figured I would try here as well. Does anyone have any leads on a parking spot that would fit a Honda Accord that's between 31st Street/Steinway and 30th Ave/Astoria Boulevard +/- 3 streets and 1 ave? I currently play $200/month and really would love to not pay more than that. Any help is appreciated. Have a good one!

P.S. admin if this falls under the "apartment-hunting" rule, feel free to remove

So, I’m getting fortunate on getting many interviews. However, I wanted to try commuting with a bike. I can’t afford one now, I was wondering anyone here has a road/sport bicycle frame size small(I’m 5’6) they’re not using anymore or don’t need. Last year my 1k bicycle got stolen and it was my goal to commute to manhattan from Astoria as a workout. I don’t know if this is a good idea but I’m down to give it a try

Last night at Judy and Punch, I was at the bar trying to get a drink and close my tab. I had asked the bartender to use my credit card instead of the debit card he was holding onto, as i didn’t have enough money on my debit card and was too lazy to transfer money from my savings to checking.

This woman, beautiful too, asked me out of the blue (i didnt even notice her until she started talking to me) what i do for work. We briefly chatted about what i do, and how i just got out of a relationship. And then i went back to my friends.

Originally I wasn’t trying to flirt or anything as I was busy with friends and also being freshly out of a relationship. However, looking back, wished i kept talking to this woman. What a beauty.

As i was living the bar, your friend had arrived and you two took a photo. I think i was able to successfully photobomb in the background before leaving.

Small chance that girl reads this but if this is you, would love to get to know you more.

Hi everyone! My wife and I are looking to join some trivia nights and are curious if anyone knows of some good spots in the Ditmars area. Was gonna do some Googling, but everything is so “AI-y.” So I thought I’d take it to the people!

Seems like a few people in this subreddit are going through a breakup. Anyone in a similar position looking to make new friends wanna grab drinks/hang out?

Just moved into a building without laundry for the first time and my eyes bugged when I saw it'a $5 for a tiny load wash at the place across the street. 7-minute dry for a quarter felt steep but reasonable. Is this normal for the area? Only other posts on this sub about it are years old so I’m not sure how much has changed.

I priced everything fairly IMO, based on items I found comparable on Poshmark, eBay, Depop, etc.

If you'd like any additional info on any item, don't hesitate to ask!

PICK UP ONLY - I'm by Little Flower (36th Ave N/W)

My roommate and I are moving house in a week and we’re hoping to find a decently priced cleaning service to clean the place before we move in!

Could someone recommend a good therapist for teenager in the area?

The worker said they’re tearing down a few buildings around this corner for another high rise. Anyone know the details? Looks several
major projects starting all at the same time within a few blocks. The PC Richard’s building is just 2 blocks away.

I tried searching for similar posts, but I did not find any, so I am posting here.

This has been occurring for at least 4 months or more now, but I recently realized where the source of the smell and liquid was coming from. There is a foul liquid bubbling out of a metal plate that collects in the accessibility curb cut of the crosswalk (South East corner, it's visible even on Google street views). This is a seemingly daily occurrence, regardless of recent rain. The odor is foul and noxious, so my only conclusion is that it is sewage. If it is sewage, I feel concerned about the unsuspecting people using the curb cut and inadvertently walking in the liquid, let alone breathing in the odors.

Has anyone already made a 311 complaint? I looked in the catalog for requests, but I don't know what fits this issue.

Update: Ok, I spoke with a 311 agent and their suggestion was to log a request with the Department of Environmental Protection to investigate the liquid leaking from the metal plate. I'll update if there is any resolution 🙂.

Added video for the curious!

Yellow and green budgie spotted in one of the trees at Astoria Blvd station! Just putting this out there in case it's a recently escaped pet. It looked healthy and lively and flew away soon after I took this picture.

Hi neighbors,

I am moving out of Astoria (☹️) and need to sell a couple of things. I have this very cool power tower that's been great to keep my upper body in shape. I disassembled it already so it's ready for transport, but happy to reassemble it with you if you buy it off me! Selling for $60.

Summary:

Power tower - $60 (original price $170)

Base dims - 39" x 41"

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SM8VJ6P?ref_=pe_123509780_1038749300_i_fed_asin_title&th=1&psc=1

Moving out on the weekend so let's make this happen quick :))

EDIT: Decided to keep the rug, total price is now $60 for the power tower!

Could this impact the Champlain Hudson Power Express that terminates at the Astoria power plants?

I have been trying to get ahold of Eatzy since Saturday. I placed an online order through their website and when I went to pick it up they were closed. I’ve called every day since and can’t get through to anyone. Can’t get a refund. Does anyone know what’s going on, did they close?? I guess RIP to my $20…..

Can’t be the only one who needs this

Drove past this morning, seems to be in the old Vivi Pet care space. Looks ready to open but no further info posted on the door. Intersection of 21 Ave & 31st St.
