Hello! I am looking for vet recommendations, ideally a vet who is patient and will allow me to be in the same room as my cat during the check up and vaccination. My cat can get a bit spicy during vet visits so a patient vet is ideal. Any additional information on pricing for annuals is much appericated!

Some people asked for less marketing and more sick cab pics - people hope we aren’t like gamehaus - here is a sneak peak of some still shots from a video taken today of a small portion of our lineup (not the best pics, but had to respond to the challenge!)

Anywhere LIC Stolen Keys

3 Upvotes

Hello,

My car was broken into in LIC, close to the Vernon/Jackson station, and among the items stolen was a colorful denim pouch full of keys. If anyone has seen it, please let me know. I’m hoping the thieves may have thrown it on the street after realizing that nothing inside was of value.

Thank you!

Car honking Jackson Av

Post image
28 Upvotes

Are you the owner of this SUV license Plate NY FLEA on Jackson Av and 50th street? Your car has been honking non stop since 12 11am
UPDATE
They sent an NYPD emergency truck to handle the situation.
FINAL UPDATE
After 3 and 1/2 hours of un interrupted honking the NYPD entered the car and disable the honk. You can still see the light flashing as the alarm keeps going off.

To the owner of a silver Chevy Tahoe parked at Jackson & 50th, license plate "FLEA"

Edit: Chevy Suburban

For the love of all that is holy, please fix your f****** car alarm. It's been going off almost continuously since 10AM and today is too nice to leave every window closed.

Enjoy the nastily worded letters that I have no doubt will be left on your windshield by the time you leave work.

Looking for Fun Nightlife in LIC (2000s, K-pop, Asian Music)

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm fairly new to the area, I've been here for about two months and I'm wondering what the nightlife is like in LIC. I'd love to stay local instead of always going into the city.

Are there any fun clubs, bars, maybe a rave around here that play early 2000s music, EDM, K-pop, or other Asian music? I'm Chinese and hoping to meet new people, especially others who have similar music taste. I'd also love to find places where people actually dance instead of just standing around.

So far I've only been to 00:00, and it was okay. I'd love to hear your recommendations!

Are there still concessions (beer) at Gantry Park Plaza?

4 Upvotes

Hi all, just planning a date for this week and thought Gantry Park would be a nice time outdoors. I've seen older posts that you could get a pitcher of beer and sit out there - is that still the case? I don't see anything about concessions or a bar when I google it so just want to check.

Free dental cleanings for kids/teens 12-17 at Plaza College in Forest Hills

1 Upvotes

Plaza College's dental hygiene program in Forest Hills is looking for patients ages 12 to 17 for free hygiene visits. It's a state-of-the-art CODA-accredited facility.

What's included:

  • Deep cleaning
  • X-rays
  • Full exam and assessment
  • Consultation with a dentist
  • Sealants and fluoride treatments

A parent or legal guardian has to be present for the whole appointment, so plan for that.

They'll also provide a work or school note if you need one for missed time.

Appointment slots are Mondays and Fridays at 8am, or Wednesdays at 12:30pm or 4:30pm.

If your kid is overdue for a cleaning and you're between insurance or just trying to avoid another $300 visit, worth a look. Message me if interested or have any questions!

Are you okay?

21 Upvotes

Decided to stop at the Baroness after the game today for a shot or two. Went to go use the iconic bathroom, walked in to the stall, and was standing on a pile of broken glass. After walking out and checking out the situation with a phone light- not only was there broken glass everywhere but someone had bled all over the stall. Two stalls in a row actually. So..to whoever punched the glass out of the wall art and cut themself…. Are you ok?
