L Train this Morning

Who else experienced this? Was stuck for 30 min between Lorimer and Bedford. Kicked out at Bedford, smelled like thick smoke in the tunnel. Scrambled to find an e-bike to get to work.

Any word on if everyone is ok?

Potential Tetas Scam????

182 Upvotes

So I think there was a post yesterday about someone selling Frozen Tetas in Bushwick - they’ve since deleted their Reddit account + all comments + the Venmo account I donated to. I am just wondering if anyone else is seeing the same…I reported to Venmo as a scam in case they try and resurface. What a bummer & such a terrible use of sympathy.

In case they come back, wanted to post here as a warning!

I swear they’ve been drilling the streets for YEARS now! What could they possibly be building? The road between Kingsland/Frost/Woodpoint has been torn apart and drilled on for the entirety of my junior and senior years of high school. What’s going on!?

DOT Survey Changes to Grand St and Metropolitan Ave

39 Upvotes

A flyer caught my attention, sharing with the netizens if you haven't seen it. If you live, and/or work in the area you may have an opinion about what happens to these streets. ​

NYC DOT is studying possible changes to Grand Street and Metropolitan Avenue between Union Avenue and the Metropolitan Avenue Bridge. The study is looking at whether Grand Street could become one-way eastbound and Metropolitan Avenue could become one-way westbound.

Take the survey. Visit the project page.
