I’m just next to a school and the entire parking lot and backyard of my building is open with trees and what not- and the rain sounds so nice hitting everything- and the occasional birdsong in the rain.
Such a peaceful Sunday- explain your staying in, in the rain- experiences hehe
UPDATE 5:20pm was informed their status at acc is "reclaimed" - thank you all for sharing and boosting!
Hi! I was driving down gates and saw huskies running down gates. I ran with them and got them into two Monsters Pet Store if anyone is looking for them.
UPDATE: Me and a good Samaritan brought them to ACC (Animal Care Center) Queens to see if they're chipped and they are not. We stopped by Glover Park and were told the mom who drives a jeep is looking for them. Unfortunately we both have dogs that wouldn't be open to having another dog. If anyone knows anyone looking for them please message me or contact ACC Queens. They only have rabies tags.
EDIT: She’s been found!!
If anyone sees our kitty, please reach out!!
Last seen on Harman, between Irving & Wyckoff.
She doesn’t have a collar on but is microchipped.
She’s mostly black, but with a white under belly. Also has a “chip” on her left ear.
I have been giving cat food to this elderly gentleman on my street, he cares for a neighborhood cat he’s named Poldo.
Last month Poldo went missing and it breaks my heart for the man, he cares greatly for the cat. Has anyone seen him? Or heard about what might have happened to him? If you frequent the Halsey L and ever are on Jefferson I’m sure you have seen Poldo.
In Bushwick preferred, but I'll travel off the L, J/Z or M if needed!
If it matters, I need a pair shortened and a couple taken in at the waist
Hey New Yorkers!
I'm Finn, 22, from a small town near Frankfurt, Germany. We sometimes call Frankfurt "Mainhattan" because of its skyline, so I guess I've already had a little practice with skyscrapers. Just on a much smaller scale. 😄
I've never been to the US, but I've always been fascinated by the people, their openness, the music, fashion, and culture. And New York has always been my dream.
There's something almost paradoxical about it. You're surrounded by so many people, yet nobody really cares what you're doing. Everyone is living their own life, following their own path. There's a certain kind of freedom in that which I've always found fascinating.
I'm not dreaming of some glamorous lifestyle. Just taking the subway to work, exploring the city afterward, meeting people, and experiencing everyday life would mean the world to me.
A little about me: I've completed a three-year vocational apprenticeship in metal fabrication, spent another year training as an industrial mechanic, and also worked in administration and logistics.
I'm hoping to spend 6–12 months legally living and working in or around NYC. I'm currently exploring J-1 Intern/Trainee programs for technical fields like manufacturing or quality control, as well as H-2B seasonal jobs.
So I figured I'd take a chance and ask the people who actually live here:
Does anyone know a company or business owner who might consider hosting an international technical trainee, or someone familiar with these visa programs?
I'm not looking for a handout. I'm willing to work hard and do everything the right way. Sometimes all it takes is one connection.
This has been a dream of mine since I was a kid, and now that I'm 22, I really want to give it a shot rather than spend the next few years wondering what could have been.
Thanks for reading, New York!
Finn 🇩🇪🇺🇸
Does anyone else notice that ice cream in New York is all fucked up? I swear 90% of delis and grocery stores have no idea how to store it. Like it melted and then refroze, completely ruining it.
Hey Brooklyn community,
I’m posting to see whether anyone else in Bushwick / 11221 has experienced similar issues with mail delivery through the Bushwick Post Office.
On September 30, I encountered our regular mail carrier at the entrance of my building while she had a package addressed to my apartment. The package was too large to fit through our mailbox slot, so I politely identified myself and asked if she could hand it to me.
She refused and said she was going to put it in the mailbox anyway. When I questioned this, the interaction escalated. She became hostile, directed a racial slur at me, calling me a “Spanish bitch,” and made comments about my weight/body while I am visibly 29 weeks pregnant.
Once I realized how aggressive the interaction was becoming, I began recording on my phone. Our building’s surveillance cameras also captured the encounter.
I subsequently reported the incident to USPS management.
Since making that complaint, we have experienced what appears to be a serious disruption in mail delivery to our address.
Today, Saturday, October 3, an incoming package was updated at 3:38 PM as “Refused by Addressee — Return to Sender.”
Nobody at our address refused the package.
We immediately checked our security footage. At approximately the same time the package was marked “refused,” the postal truck was parked down the block. Our cameras show no carrier approaching our building or attempting to deliver the package.
I then approached the carrier down the street and asked for my package/mail. I recorded that interaction as well. He refused to give me the package, stated that he was not delivering our mail, and drove away.
We have preserved the original surveillance footage, phone recordings, and tracking information and submitted the evidence to USPS management and the USPS Office of Inspector General. We have requested an investigation into the apparent withholding of our mail and delivery scans that do not match what our security footage shows.
At this point, I’m mainly trying to find out whether this is an isolated situation or whether other residents on this route have experienced similar problems.

Comment here if interested and my client will DM you to coordinate.
IC Brooklyn Cafe on Wilson Ave announces closure today. So sad!
I’ve been yearning for smoked tofu and none of the groceries stores around here seem to have it. If anyone knows of any grocery stores (in bushwick or in the area) I’d be so appreciative.
