Hit a deer on the west shore expressway

They need to do something about the deer on the island. One jumped in front of me on the highway at night and caused $5,000+ in damages to my car. Extremely dangerous and could kill someone if a tractor trailer is involved.

FYI be careful when driving on 440 at night

Random but is anyone selling a car personally?

Not sure if this is allowed but I run a photo and video production business and generally i think getting a fly car you can’t afford just to pay a car note + insurance + tolls is stupid.

Clean title and running well is all I need preferably SUV or pickup

Someone died near Alamo?

I heard someone died near Alamo last night. (Oct 30, 2024)

I'm wondering if anyone knows what happened?

More specifically I'm wondering if they were killed by Hylan Blvd or if it was traffic related...

SI Advance

Just read that the Star Ledger which is owned by the same company as the SI Advance is stopping print versions and ceasing operations at its print facility in NJ. Pretty sure when the Advance sold the building on Fingerboard Rd that they were consolidating print to NJ. Wondering if this is the print version of the Advance demise as well. The amount of stories in the actual paper is awful, typically just a rehash of SILIVE for the week.

Anything Halloween related going on today on the island?

Sadly I have work tomorrow so I won't be able to go out for Halloween. I have time today but I also don't feel like going all the way to BK or Manhattan for something fun. Is anything going on today nearby?

Tmobile/verizon

So I’m from out of town and I’m helping my elderly Mom get a new cell phone. She currently has t mobile, but says she has terrible service. I’m not sure if it’s because of her old phone or if it’s a tower coverage issue. She lives in Great Kills. Any advice on best cellular service for this area?

Dinner recommendations near Fairfield Marriott (Travis-Chelsea area)

Hi all, will be staying at the Fairfield Marriott on Saturday (the night before the marathon). Looking for a family friendly place to eat. Italian or Mediterranean cuisine preferably, but open to others too, maybe in the $15-$25 range for entree (slightly higher too is ok).

Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Trick or treating with kids

Those with kids, where do you take them trick or treating? Just in your neighborhood? Does the mall still do it.

EDIT* looks like no one does the mall. I'll skip that then.

Willowbrook vs Manor Heights

Hi. I’m trying to get a general consensus on the name for the mid-island neighborhood in the map here. I’ve read both Manor Heights and Willowbrook. This would include the Farm Colony.

Thanks for any help!

Any diners/restaurants on the island that don’t use soybean oil?

Moving back to staten island soon. I am a sucker for diner food and love a good new york diner. However, I randomly developed a pretty severe soy allergy recently, with soybean oil causing the worse reaction. With soybean oil being the most common cooking oil out there (unfortunately), does anyone know of diners or restaurants that don’t use soybean oil? I know Hop Shoppe doesn’t use it, but I’m not sure about anywhere else, and I’d like to have a list instead of having to call everywhere. Thank you in advance!!!

Bodega Round-up - Stapleton

Good morning, Staten. It's a nice fall day, and either you live in or an errand has dropped you in Stapleton, SI. As a seasoned local, or an outsider-looking in, you're driving down Broad Street looking for the perfect egg sandwich. Can anyone here weigh in on what corner store of the 15/sq. in you'd recommend?

Appreciate y'all and have a good day!
