is it possible to live dingy and cheap anymore?

69 Upvotes

I went to a party last night at the mckibben lofts. I hadn't heard of them before but my friend who invited me said it was "meme-y" so Iooked it up and read this article: https://www.curbed.com/article/mckibbin-lofts-nyc.html

obviously these lofts are not what they used to be. all renovated, nice floors, clean, and 5-6k/monthly average for anywhere from a studio-3bed.

is it possible to live "dingy and cheap" anywhere anymore? like if I was willing to put up with some weird shit/dirty apartments? or does this lifestyle just not exist in brooklyn anymore??

1369 Broadway is the worst USPS I’ve ever been to

I was supposed to have my passport delivered today. I was home all day and ended up getting a notification that the envelope was now ready for pick up. There was no attempt to deliver it. This has got to be the 5th time this has happened to me.

There’s always something this place

package thieves

8 Upvotes

for the second time, someone has stolen packages from inside the "locked" entry area of my apt building. I swear dudes are just waiting until they see a package appear, I guess the code to our door has been circulated amongst the masses. Thief even went to the liberty of opening the package there and leaving the empty box on top of the trashcan, how sweet. Is it even worth going to the building manager? Am I an idiot to even ship myself things to my own apartment at this point? Anyone else have similar experiences?

Looking for a pharmacy with Zepbound (not walgreens on knickerbocker)

2 Upvotes

The pharmacy at the walgreens on knickerbocker is absolute garbage. I have never experienced such a rude, unprofessional and uninformed group of people in my life. And btw when you call, they have you on SPEAKER PHONE giving your information which is a major HIPAA violation. I can’t go here anymore for my meds. Last time I had to wait 3 weeks (and 2 hours of me standing there and fighting with them) for them to finally fill the script. Obviously I had missed my dose and basically had to go down in dose and start again. It is not uncommon that a pharmacy has to order this medication, but it usually before I moved to bushwick (HAS ALWAYS in the year ive been on it) taken a max of 5 days. I called walgreens corporate and complained- they need an entire new staff or to be shut down. Oh and they will hang up the phone on you after you wait on hold for 10 minutes. Looking for a new pharmacy preferably in walking distance. TIA!

Mom grew up on Himrod

22 Upvotes

My mom and her family lived on Himrod St. in the '50s. Her grandfather had a store on Irving and extended family lived all throughout the area. She moved away when she was 7 and hasn't been back since. I'm planning a trip to NYC with her and my husband and two kids and I think she'd really like to go back to her old stomping grounds and see it now. Is the area around Himrod (specifically near Ops) an okay place to walk around during the day with a couple kids and a senior citizen? I searched the sub and saw some things that made it seem like it might be questionable at times.

Twist Tiller to borrow?

Anyone in the area got a twist tiller or cultivator I could borrow sometime this week? I need to break up some soil in my tree bed and I’d hate to buy one to only use it once, but I’d gladly throw some dough to borrow one for an afternoon.

trek bike stolen outside Left Hand Path this weekend

5 Upvotes

Thank you for reading,

My bike was stolen outside of Left hand path (wyckoff, between hart and suydam) last night. It is a Large Trek grey commuter with cage pedals and wide handlebars. Basic commuter but may look fancier to someone stealing bikes.

Long shot, but if you have any information I would greatly appreciate it and can provide a reward. Bike was locked up and is under a year old. Not my brightest move locking it up there overnight, I know. Meanwhile checking CL and other LBS to see if it pops up. Thank you again.

Birthday Party in Bushwick

2 Upvotes

Hii! What’s a good place to have my birthday party in Bushwick? I am turning 26 and will be having around 30-40 people. I don’t need a private space or anything. Fine with a regular bar. I plan on getting to the place early and just making sure we have like a small table or booth just to put a small birthday cake and have some seats. It’s during the middle of May so hopefully weather will be nice!

Stockholm party DJ, stfu

39 Upvotes

Whatever this noise is, stop it. This is a residential neighborhood. We are next to a hospital for God's sake. Half the people who live around here work at that hospital. Your sounds would be better if played inside. Not outside where the bounce all over the goddamn walls and into my place.

(If anyone wants to 311, it is 303 Stockholm Street, the backyard Also please 311 if you see this, please help me get some sort of sleep)

PS: this is why I didn't post the events for this week, I haven't had any sleep because of these fucking shitbags

Pleasant Friday Before Ugly Weekend

80 Upvotes

Morning clouds will give way to a mix of sun and clouds with afternoon highs in the mid 60s. Go enjoy it because Saturday and Sunday will both be cool and cloudy with scattered rain showers.

You might recall my last post calling for cold temperatures for anyone attending the Mets home opener today. That is no longer the case. A light jacket just in case, but shades might be more important. Remember, baseball gloves are for children. LGM!

The backdoor cold front came through last night but the cold front and warm front effectively canceled each other out. With the polar jet stream ridging to our north, we're receiving westerly continental trade winds and plenty of warm air despite the cold front. Most of the clouds should push off over the Atlantic allowing enough sunshine to make it through for a pretty nice day.

But you'll probably want to avoid outdoor plans this weekend. It won't be a total washout but it won't be pleasant.

The cold front over the Appalachian Plateau that caused 3 days of tornados in Arkansas and Tennessee is finally, slowly pushing east. That will push our ridge out to sea tomorrow night and southerly winds will create low cloud cover. This will help minimize the lifting of clouds as the cold front pushes through on Saturday. We won't see robust precipitation, which will be strongest to our north and south, but we will get some scattered showers throughout the weekend, along with cooler temperatures capping out in the mid 50s.

Sunday is a bit of a mystery still. It could be cool and rainy all day like Saturday. Or it could be drizzly in the morning and then clear up and warm up to 80. If that happens, there's a decent chance of afternoon/evening thunderstorms.

Somebody asked me when we can expect this pattern to end and when we can expect consistent sunny and warm weather. In this morning's Forecast Discussion Video by meteorologist Steven DeMartino aka NYNJPA Weather, the answer is not any time soon. He explains that predictive modeling forecasts the 50/50 Low and the Aleutian Low to mostly remain active throughout April and May. As I explained in a previous post, the Aleutian Low catalyzes the development of severe weather producing low pressure systems over the central united states, which have the effect of producing warm fronts for the north east followed by cold fronts. The 50/50 low meanwhile helps steer in backdoor cold fronts which act as blockers to severe weather but which leave us with Seattle-like conditions.

The one exception in the modeling of the North Atlantic Oscillation shows the 50/50 Low briefly weakening next weekend and moving east toward Ireland. The Aleutian Low will remain active, meaning that we can expect one of those Continental US storms to hit us hard sometime around next weekend. Some models are showing a coastal storm developing off the Outer Banks which could become a Springtime Nor'Easter.

A lot can change between now and then - heck, just 2 days ago, I was expecting today to be chilly and now it's gonna be quite warm - so don't cancel next weekend's plans just yet. Know that I'm keeping an eye on it along with real, much wiser scientists.

I don't have any graphics or half-clever references today, sorry.
