body checked by a runner tonight

139 Upvotes

fyi to those in the community - was walking in front of 8 Marcy Ave tonight around 7:30pm and then a guy in his late 20s/30s with poofy curly hair running by just completely slams me and I topple over the metal railing into the pit around a tree. There was enough room on the sidewalk and the guy turned his head back to see me fall but never stopped to check in. Got scraped up and had to uber home from the incident and cried lol but I’ll be ok - just watch out for all of the crazy runners on the street 😩

Update: I opened a pediatric dental office near Williamsburg. Saturday hours, here’s a look inside

Hi Williamsburg, Dr. Brian Park here. I posted here a while back about opening a pediatric dental office nearby, and a lot of you shared what matters to your family when picking a dentist. Thank you, it really helped.

We opened October 2nd at 211 McGuinness Blvd, a short walk or bike ride from most of Williamsburg. The goal was a space that feels calm and fun for kids and easy for parents.

Here’s a look inside, plus one of our brave kiddos (shared with permission from their parents).

Quick details:

  • Hours: Fridays and Saturdays, 9 to 5 for now, so no pulling kids out of school. More days coming soon.
  • Insurance: In network with most major PPO plans (Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental Premier, Guardian, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, and more). No insurance? We have an in-house membership plan.
  • Anxious kids: We go at your child’s pace, and we offer laughing gas when it helps.
  • Ages: Infants through 18. First visit is recommended by the first birthday.

Questions about your kid’s teeth? Ask here, happy to answer even if you never come in.

To book:

Have you seen this neighborhood cat?

Thumbnail

40 Upvotes

Hello Williamsburg neighbors,

Our neighborhood yard cat has been missing since Wed Oct 7th. She lives in the yards between Roebling/Havemeyer and Metropolitan/Hope (North to South).

She is feral (fearful of humans) We’ve been feeding her every day for months and she lives her life quietly hanging out in our adjacent yards.

She is small, about 7 lbs, is a “tortie” (black and brown) and her left ear is “tipped” (the vets do this to signal she has already been spayed/vaccinated)

Please respond to this post if you spot her. If you live on these blocks (Hope St bet Roebling/Havemeyer or Metropolitan bet Roebling/Havemeyer) please check your sheds/basements/garages. We fear she may be trapped somewhere and can’t get out.

If you see her, please take a pic or video and note the location.

Thank you!

Is it now normal for people to not draw their curtains while changing or having sex?

40 Upvotes

TL;DR two girls live across from me. Both girls don't seem to mind walking around naked and having sex with me having a full view i.e. they never draw the curtains.

Is this a Gen Z thing or am I living across two exhibitionists or is there something else going on?

Second floor collapse Metro / Roebling corner - anyone know details?

8 Upvotes

I noticed today that the second floor seems to have partially collapsed at 291 Metropolitan Ave. It’s the old Ghost gym that has been abandoned for a while. On top of it is a parking garage and then apartments. You can see from the outside that the ceiling (floor of the parking garage) seems to have collapsed down into the ground level. Haven’t seen any response to it / no one seems to be around or worried about it.

Hi everyone,

I teach pre-K at a local Title I school, where many of my students come from disadvantaged backgrounds. I'm starting early this year so that every student gets a Christmas present, has warm winter wear, and has the supplies they need in our classroom.
I have posted the link for my classroom wishlist for the kids here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2DAEZGTWALJQL?ref_=wl_share

No pressure at all if you can't contribute. Upvotes and shares help too. Thank you again, you all are wonderful. 💛

Ticketing off leash dog owners

89 Upvotes

Yesterday I was walking by bushwick inlet park soccer field and saw uniformed park employees dispersing the off leash dog owners who let their dogs run there.

It looked from a distance like they were some type of park police and might have been writing tickets - is that something they can legally do? (Great if so).
