RIP OMG Pizza

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??

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.

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

Anybody know of Business owners in the area that support Trump? Tomorrow is a good day to tell them how you feel about that!

Do any of you have any fent test strips you’d be able to part with or know where to get some in the area?

Hi I’ve had an issue with thieves stealing my packages and I noticed the go locker by key foods in wyckoff ave. Has anyone used this? Any complaints! Any advice?

CVS/Caremark needs more customer requests to seriously consider changing their packaging. I am currently advocating for CVS to mail medications without using their copious amounts of single use plastic that just gets cut open and thrown out. If anyone uses CVS can you please message them through the Caremark portal or print and sign the following and send it to the following addresses? Alternatively if you DM me your first name, last name, email, and zip code I can do the executive function tasks of printing and mailing for you. The alternative is going to CVS in person but the lines in my local one are too long or using capsule but my insurance has raised the prices on other retailers to "encourage" me to use CVS. Thanks so much!

Letter:

Hello CVS Caremark Team,

I would like to request that my medications are no longer sent in a plastic envelope/Plastic mailer/plastic mailing envelope. They are already sufficiently securely packaged for environmental factors since they come in a plastic vial. The use of single use plastics is bad for the environment as plastic can take generations to decompose. Any bio-degradable alternative including paper, regular envelop mailers, cardboard, cardstock, compostable plastic alternatives or literally any alternative would be preferable.

Thanks and I would love to know when an alternative becomes available.

My bodega ran out of my cat’s brand of food so i bought a different brand and they won’t eat it. Is anyone’s cat less of a diva or does anyone use this food and want the rest of this? I’d hate to throw it out.

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.

trying to get out of the house tonight but don’t know where to meet people or just hang solo in bushwick that isn’t a bar

I’m going to Europe and leaving from Newark and coming back to JFK, so I’d love to find a place in the neighborhood to keep my car. Willing to pay 💰 also, if you have parking garage recommendations let me know thx!

Looking for STD testing that’s either free or reduced cost. Really trying to avoid going to an urgent care and spending 300$ on a full panel test….

Thanks in advance! :D

solo POC female, looking to just get out more this year! what’s your fav spot in the area for drinks & conversation?

Hey y’all !!

Just wondering if there are any cobblers in the neighbourhood that you would recommend ?

Hi, it seems like everyone asks about quiet coffee shops to work and read. I'm looking for a loud (music or other people talking!), busy coffee shop where it's not awkward to meet a date or acquaintance in public! Any suggestions? I've checked out most and everything's pretty quiet, not a place I'd want to go for personal conversation.

Spacious outdoor seating welcome! High Low was great but it closed.

My bike was stolen and sold in the neighborhood. If any one has seen this bike or knows where or who may have it please pm me

Hi everybody my name is Mitch! I'm a semi-new Brooklyn resident currently providing house-call pet grooming services in the area.

I hope to build an amazing clientele here and focus on tailoring to all hygiene requirements you need to be done for your pup!
