Someone passed away on the train and it’s parked at Broadway until the paramedics and police can do their thing. Express trains are bypassing Broadway, 36th, and 39th so you need to go up to Astoria Blvd to go cross-platform Manhattan bound

UPDATE: It's NOT cross-platform you have to go to the Manhattan side

The Historic Blackwell Door will be on display at Advance Masonic Temple, 21-14 30th Ave, in Astoria on select public viewing dates only: July 4, July 5, July 18, July 26, August 2, August 9, August 16, August 23, and August 30 from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Believed to date to 1765, the door still bears a British confiscation mark from 1776.

There is also an optional walking tour, Hallet’s Cove in the American Revolution, but it requires separate Eventbrite reservation and is not included automatically with exhibit attendance.

Watching them put up a new sign right now!

EDIT: sorry, already all gone!! But we also put out a bunch of kitchen stuff, most bowls and cups, some cookware and pans.

Thanks to everyone who responded and came by from my previous sale post! I have some chairs that didn’t sell that I’m putting out on the curb now! Will leave them out until 6pm today, and back out tomorrow if any are left. 22nd Street between 40th Ave & 41st Ave on the east side of the street

Hi all! I moved to the neighborhood last week and would love to find a reasonably priced place that does either gentle yoga/meditation with some kind of combination of a sound bath or aromatherapy or both (even if it’s just for a segment of a session.) I’m still chasing the feeling of the classes I used to go to at Drip Sweat where you’d do yoga but they’d also bring around a singing bowl and the room smelled amazing. I don’t even know if it was incense or some other type of aromatherapy, but it was memorably calming. So far, in the neighborhood I’ve only been to Yoga Agora vinyasa classes on Fridays, and while I enjoy them and are great for when I want to do vinyasa, they’re missing that soundbath and calming scent atmosphere I’m looking for. Any suggestions would be so appreciated! 💜

Every Tuesday I help a woman who collects bottles, transport what she collects to a certain destination she asks me to. She’s my neighbor and saw I have a pickup truck and asked me to help her. It’s a convenient time for me and I like to help my neighbors when I can so I help her every Tuesday. The favor is simply to utilize my pickup truck because of the space.

Some Karen likely over 55+ walking her dog decided my favor doesn’t go far enough. She walks up to me and says “you’re going to just sit in your car while she does all the work”. I simply say “maam I’m just doing a favor for my neighbor who wanted to use my truck”. She said “you’re not a man”. It’s not an issue and there’s weird people in this world, but like damn. People like that Karen make people not want to do simple favors.

Was walking near Ditmars and 31st today and saw someone trying to pull off a fake check scam.

A black man in a mask and dark clothing, approx. 30 years old, came up to me twice trying to get me to cash a check for him. He handed me $100 in cash and pushed me to accept it. He said he couldn’t cash the check into his account because of a “child support hold” or something (lol).

I obviously declined, but I saw him trying to get several people in the area to accept.

This happened on Ditmars between the McDonald’s and Starbucks.

I should’ve called the police, but I was so confused by what he was trying to do until I finally googled it when I got home. Makes total sense now.

these signs just went up for TOMORROW. They are tearing up the street to repave. I know many people don't check on their cars for a few days and many hospital employees park here so be aware so you don't get towed.

I doubt the east river is an ideal spot for safe fish, unless it is. However, anyone in astoria knows of convenient spots in the neighboring boroughs(not Staten Island) for good fishing spots. I have a spinning reel I really wanna try out.

Hey guys, I’m visiting Astoria today (I’m from out of state) and I need to print something out. Will I be able to do this at the Queens Library? Or is there somewhere else I can go?

Crazy thunder clap(?) near the Broadway stop or something getting struck by lightening and collapsing? Idk but it was so loud I jumped out of my chair

Wife spotted a mouse in the apartment. First time. We tore the apartment apart looking for holes and poop. Spotted poop under fridge, behind stove and by the heating pipe in the living room.

I covered the tiny space by heating pipe. Didn’t see any real holes behind the oven or fridge.

I’ve set so many traps in the kitchen and by the pipe it’s basically home alone Astoria.

But this mouse is avoiding them with skill.
I’m attaching video . One before the traps and one after with the mouse.

Any suggestions?!

I have the classic traps, glue pads, I have peanut butter and some tomcat solution bait thing. I have poison bait motels and just ordered some “humane mouse motel” traps.

I just want this guy gone. Thanks.

I just saw lightning and then BANG at 35th.

I just got an email from Con Ed that all of my bills have been adjusted since last September when I moved into my current apartment. I logged into my portal to confirm the email was legit. It's totaling over $2100 due in 3 weeks and I am at a loss for words. I just added all of my prior payments over the last 10 months and I've already given them $3000. Wtf?? Has anyone else had this happen?

I guess it is an electrical issue but can not confirm
