Did you lose a stored value card on 31st Ave tonight?

I found a specific type of card tonight. It doesn’t have a name on it, but it does have an account number, so if you manage the account online you might have access.

DM me and tell me what type of card it is and I’ll get it back to you.

(It’s not a high-value thing, just a nuisance to lose.)

Heat wave pro tip: set your AC unit to "dehumidify" or "dry" instead of "cool"

I noticed my Midea units have this feature when I got the first one a few years ago. I don't think I tried it the first summer, but once I did I learned that using the unit on "dry" somehow gets the temperature more comfortable than the "cool" setting. I checked my realtime ConEd tracker and it uses far less electricity, too.

I don't need it to be 68 in here, I'm wearing summer clothes. I just need it to be comfortable. I leave mine set on 75 or 76 and pay close attention to window blinds to prevent the sun warming up my rooms. I'm comfy and I don't have to feel bad for spending loads of money and electricity (yes, I know industrial processes account for the vast majority of energy use, waste, and pollution, but I like to feel like I'm not making global problems worse, and I also don't like $400 utility bills).

My highest ConEd bill last year was for July 4-August 4, and it was $246.

Announcing the Astoria Stoop Swap & Sale on the 31st Avenue Open Streets! June 6, 1:00-4:00 pm

At long last! The first Astoria Stoop Swap & Sale on the 31st Avenue Open Streets will be held from 1:00-4:00 pm on June 6!

What is this event? This is a community-driven, secondhand-focused event where people can shop, swap, sell, or give away their gently-used items. The goal isn’t profit, but sustainability, offering us a way to move our items along to new, appreciative owners while raising a little money for charity and mingling with neighbors.

Want to sell? The event is limited to sales of gently-used household items, clothes, books, records/CDs/DVDs, toys, craft supplies, games, and other small goods. (21+ items, weapons, and other non-family-friendly items are not permitted.) You may set your own pricing, but we encourage swapping, giving, and mutual aid as well as sales. If, at the end of the day, you choose to donate a portion of your proceeds to the Astoria Food Pantry or another charity, please let us know so we can keep track of how much we collectively benefited the community. Please note that all unsold items MUST GO HOME WITH YOU at the end of the day.

In accordance with 31st Avenue Open Streets’ charter and permits, this event is not open to businesses or makers. For-profit selling is not permitted. (If you are a business vendor, there are other events for you! Details here.)

If you’d like to register as a seller for this swap & stoop sale, please review the rules and guidelines in detail and register here. As part of the registration process, we are asking for proof of a small donation to a local nonprofit, such as the Astoria Food Pantry. The suggested donation is $10, but you can give more or less.

The purpose of the mandatory donation is to ensure your commitment to the day so we can allocate tables/spots. We would be really bummed if we went through all the work to set this up, got lots of RSVPs, then on the day no one showed up to sell. We will be publicizing this extensively, so we expect a great turnout of shoppers, making it worth everyone’s while.

Want to shop? Just show up! There is no entry fee or donation required.

Questions? Email us at astoriastoops@gmail.com.

Register today to secure your space! We'll see you on the Open Streets!
