Looking for childhood friend

I used to live in ridgewood ny when I was younger I’ve been trying to find a childhood friend for some time now and I’m hoping I could get help I have a photo of us in Grover Cleveland Park. I’m the one on the right with the gap hoodie my friend that i’m trying to find is on the left, we used to live in the same apartment complex of 5919 Woodbine St Ridgewood NY and his mother used to babysit me, they lived in like the basement of the complex. His mother is argentine and his father is mexican, he has a younger sister and I was wondering remembers or recognizes my childhood friend who again is on the left of the picture above, anything helps towards finding my childhood friends, I also have no contact and have nothing of them besides this picture.

Casual wrestling fan here but I've been keeping up with the build up towards this year's Rumble. Anyone know a place that will be showing it nearby?

I had two agents show up to my mother’s door on Hillside yesterday supposedly looking for a missing child from down the street, we were able to get them to go away but we overheard on their walkie that they’d be scouring the area between Sutphin Blvd and Jamaica Ave. I’m sorry I don’t have more information.

we used to order from there every other thursday. my favorite meal was the shrimp friend rice they had; it was very oily and filling, but absolutely delicious, and we kept coming back for more. i heard that something happened with that truck, and they are now closed. i wonder exactly why though... what a shame :(

These are some very nice looking homes. I'm wondering if the build style has any particular name to them?

Hey all, I have a 6 month of kitten who needs his balls snipped. I live closer to long island, willing to drive anywhere that doesnt involve a toll. Everywhere i see is over $450 for a neuter. Just wondering if this is the going rate or are there any vet clinics that are cheaper. I'm not old but i remember when this used to cost like 80 bucks. 😬

Hello all,

Our beloved grandmother went missing today (1/24/2025) this morning my grandfather woke up from bed to discover she was gone, they live in Queens, College Point. she could have also wondering into Brooklyn if anyone has any news please message or Instagram at helpfindsuk

Her name is Suk Yi Ho. She is 77 years old, Chinese, 5'0" 100 lbs. She has short black hair and we believe she might be wearing a north face puffer jacket, grey or black long-sleeve turtle neck and potentially a hat (as shown in picture linked below) She speaks Cantonese/ Chinese and only knows simple English. She may have left on foot or by bus transit. She has severe dementia.

We have contacted the NYPD and put out an amber and sliver alert.

If anyone has any information that could help us find her, please PM me or contact the NYPD directly. I live in another state so if there is any relevant information that I have left out of this post, please let me know or if you can direct me to organizations that can be of help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

^(^) Update 1/25: Thank you for everyone’s support, comments and help so far.

We still have not been able to locate her yet. Authorities notified us that she took a transit bus #Q65 and may be lost. My family is looking around different stops that could lead us to her, currently.

Recently my landlord installed new HVAC units in our building meant for heating and AC. The company and the landlord assured us they were energy efficient (new GREE split systems and one in each room) and would save us money. They did indeed save us money through the summer. But our bills in the winter have been pretty tough. 10/20-11/20 $185 11/20-12/20 $471 12/20-1/20 (only running two units instead of three and keeping the temp lower than the month before and ALSO having plugged up any drafty areas) $817

Con ed says our energy use this month was 2923kwh which seems astronomical.

Anyone have experience with this and what we could do? We’ve called coned and attempted to get a NYSERDA covered energy assessment company out but called 40 companies and scheduled one that never showed.

We’re sort of at a loss of what to do. Our unit faces two outer walls and the lobby (which isn’t being heated by the landlord for some reason) so we’re bleeding heat. Any helpful comments or options welcome!

Hi all - I'm trying to build a larger list of Queens neighborhood subreddits (and other Queens specific subreddits for events or other things). I've found several on the sidebar here and from browsing around.

Does anyone know of other Queens neighborhood subreddits that I'm missing from this list?

Hi Queens, I'm looking for somewhere to host a friend's baby shower for 20-30 people. Either a back room of a restaurant, a tiny party room, or any other creative ideas! It would be in March or April when the weather is still unpredictable.

I've never hosted a party not in my own home before, so this all feels very daunting!

Does anyone have any cute recommendations?

I'm on the express bus and we just passed by. The line is down the block. Inside is even more crowded. Is the place that good? I may try it when it calms down.

Hi everyone,

This might be a long shot, but does anyone have any pictures or memories to share of the old Pic-a-Pac in Jackson Heights? My grandfather, Mike, owned the store (he’s still around!), and it would be amazing to share some with him.

Looking for car wash places in queens that don’t use brushes that scratch your car and also let you drive through yourself.
