Help practicing German

Hi neighbors. I'm taking a trip to Vienna soon. I hear there's a Brooklyn-to-Berlin pipeline and I'm wondering if anyone around here:

-has a paper copy of a German phrase book I could borrow for at least two weeks.

-wants to meetup to practice basic German just for fun, or would be willing to low key "tutor" me. (I can pay a little but I'm not trying to do hardcore lessons, Vienna will prob be pretty english- accommodating, I just wanna be polite and prepared)

Ff to DM !

who has good pizza AND good wings

It's always one or the other. Either a place has great pizza and mid wings or great wings and mid pizza. Who is the true day walker?

Seeking HDPE Plastic (#2) Donations for Art and Design Project

Hi everyone! I’m a designer and artist passionate about finding creative ways to reduce waste and give discarded materials a second life. Since so much plastic ends up in landfills instead of being recycled, I’ve been experimenting with recyclable plastics—specifically #2 HDPE—as a medium for my work.

I’m looking for clean, reliable sources of #2 HDPE plastic (any color) to use in my projects. If you’re in the Bushwick area and happen to work at a shop, restaurant, or other place that generates HDPE plastic waste, I’d love to connect! Every contribution helps me divert more plastic from landfills and turn it into something unique.

Feel free to reach out if you have questions or would like to coordinate a pickup/drop-off. Thanks so much for your support!

Stockholm Street

I asked a similar question over in r/bronx….

My father was born and raised on 20 Stockholm Street. My grandarents lived there probably from sometime in the mid 1920’s (still researching) until I believe the 1970’s.

How is that area now? Planning a visit in the spring to take my mom to her childhood home in the Bronx and want to go by the Stockholm street house too. Dad passed back in 2014 so he wont be joining us but still would like to see part of my families history. I remember all the stories he told of living there.

Local Bushwick News

Hey y’all. Was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a news outlet that covers Bushwick well. I think this reddit thread is great and there’s some local news outlets that touch on the area, but I’m looking for something that gets into new local developments, harder crime reports, government news, etc. If there’s nothing like that, would anyone be willing to work on something like that in a more organized way?

Looking for HS appropriate Zines

Hey Bushwick! I live near Maria Hernandez and I’m a high school art & graphic design teacher near Coney Island. I am starting up a unit / project with my students soon on Zines. I am looking for some sample zines to bring in to class for students to analyze. I would love to get some local Brooklyn zines that are high school appropriate. Free would be fantastic, but I’m willing to purchase your work as well. I would also be willing to borrow these and return them after the project. Please message me if you have any that would work and are willing to provide them. I can pick them up from you wherever you’re located. Thank you!!

Looking for bandmates

My buddy (M24) guitarist is looking for a drummer and bassist, skill level isn’t very important as long as they can keep tempo. Grunge band recently split up and I’d love for him to still play his music with people.

Wyckoff USPS behind this week?

Hi all - I’m not looking for snarky answers, please. I dropped off some things, one in one of the drop off windows and one left in the lobby bin earlier this week (Mon/Tues). Neither have been scanned. I think the odds of both being stolen are low, so I’m just asking to see if anyone else has had an issue. I know it was the holiday as well so figure that could be the problem.

Dog food

Looking to donate two large bags of Blue Wild / Acana (chicken flavored). Does anyone know of local shelters that accept opened food (barely used and still in original packaging), or does anyone want? My puppy isn’t on either anymore
