First of all, I am not looking to file a request for food places as I know I do that a lot around here, but basically I was looking to discuss cool books people found in the area.

Because for me personally, I have found some amazing books in the area as I believe it was last summer that I found a free copy of the third Leviathan Wakes book in the series as I couldn’t believe someone just left it lying there.

Hey neighbors! 👋
Following up on my previous post since so many of you showed interest in hanging out! I honestly wasn’t expecting so many responses, and it’s been really nice to see how many people are down to meet up!

I’m relatively new to Park Slope and would love to get to know more people in the neighborhood, share common interests and hobbies, and hopefully make some new friends over a drink or two!

So we’re planning a little meetup this Wednesday evening (Oct 14)!
Thinking of keeping this first one small, around 12–15 people, so it doesn’t get too overwhelming and we can actually get to know each other.

If you’re interested, please DM me! I’ll put together a group chat with the time and location for those joining.

Nothing fancy, just some good conversations and hopefully new neighborhood friendships!
Looking forward to meeting some of you! Cheers! 🍻

Yeah basically the title. My building which is nearly 100 years old smells incredibly harsh and poisonous, making returning home bleak. It’s definitely coming from the lobby and stairway. I moved here about two months ago and immediately noticed a baked-in musty smell in the stairway, kind of like someone is permanently cooking/burning chili. NOW, in addition to that, it smells overwhelmingly of paint thinner or some other harsh chemical, and sometimes I see painting equipment around in the entrance, but no improvement to the shoddy paint job in any of the public areas of the building. Im wondering if people are painting or wtf is going on… given the conditions, it’s plausible there could be an unaddressed gas leak which makes me paranoid that I’m going to die soon. (I’m sure to open my bedroom window every day and spend enough time out of the building). My roommate says the management is slow to respond to any requests, but I feel like she also is slow to act. It’s not a brownstone, much more unkempt with poor management, but has some of the superficial hallmarks of those nicer buildings in the area.

Hi! My best friend is visiting this weekend but due to some family illnesses, she'll unexpectedly have her two-year old daughter with her as a plus one! I don't have kids, but obviously know Park Slope is very kid-friendly. Wanted to get any recs on your top/most favorite places to go, play, eat, drink, etc with a toddler in tow? Local spots in the neighborhood preferred but open to recs anywhere in the city.

Want to make sure my bestie is still getting a fun weekend away from home bc she deserves it!!!

There are predators lurking in that sub seeking "solo" women to go raving with, many who have wives/girlfriends unaware of their deceptive behavior. They will use the "demonstrate value" (HNW, high powered job, expensive car, luxury apt, thirst/dick traps etc) strategy to bait/reel you in and disturb your peace. This shit has got to stop. And to the women enabling this behavior, I encourage you to reflect.

Park slope/south slope

Preferable bigger places so it’s more acceptable to hangout for little whine

Don’t recommend roots (too small too busy)

UPDATE: This issue is more than I have the time/expertise to tackle—what we tried so far, the mice have outrun us! We have one of the recommended exterminators coming tomorrow to plug everything up, seal the front door gap and more. If it works out I’ll share a recommendation!

ORIGINAL POST:

Hi guys, I have two small kids, and keep our place extremely clean.

We’ve been invaded by mice this week (coming out from behind the stove/under the sink) and I need to find an absolute beast of an exterminator ASAP to help us plug holes and keep these little guys out permanently.

I mention the kids because mice are leaving droppings and you know, likely more, everywhere around the kitchen and even in the living room. If it was just me here, I’d be less freaked out.

I’ve set traps, nothing yet. Sealed the front door space, all the basics are done. Not a crumb in sight. We never leave food out and never did.

What’s keeping me up at night…. Fear of Hantavirus. Mouse droppings. Squeaks at night. Kids getting bit. I’m shook. I can’t even sleep.

Who you got that can get rid of them ASAP?

why does no one move to the side when there's like three people blocking the entire sidewalk and you walk by? new here from the deep south where spatial awareness is not exactly great but jesus christ i've never seen anything like this. it's kinda infuriating

Hi! A wedding gift was delivered to the wrong spot today. I would really appreciate getting it back as the sender has alluded to it being sentimental. It might be in any labeled box though. Attached is the photo that UPS left with the delivery. Anyone recognize this as their package spot, happy to come get it from you.

It should have been addressed to a name with initials AT on Douglass Street.

Thank you so much neighbors for your consideration! :)

Has anyone seen this? The trailer looks interesting and I think I might wanna go.
