I saw a post in here from August about issues with move in at the Northern 2, but I was wondering if anyone had more recent experience with the building or the property management company?

There are some points in the lease I am concerned about but it doesn't seem like management is willing to alter it.

Seriously, wtf is won’t with people?

Inexpensive or free things to do where I can potentially meet some nice people my age. Not from the city but have been here a few times. Mid 30s, active and mindfulness-based lifestyle. Not looking for hookups, just good conversation. What are the spots?

Thanks!

Does anybody know which road will be closed for the NY Marathon on Sunday? And if so, is there anyway we can cross it or are we completely blocked? I live in Hunters Point by the Pepsi Cola sign, so curious if I’m locked in that area.

Thanks!

As you may have read in the news, our neighbor Amanda Servedio was killed last week while on her way home from the weekly Bike & Brew ride by a truck fleeing a high speed police chase in Astoria. There is a Vigil and Memorial Ride tomorrow at 6:30 for Amanda. You all are invited to join the community to advocate for change.

Amanda loved the Long Island City waterfront, so the ride will be going through Long Island City.

Does anybody know of any controversial issues/events that happened/have been occuring in LIC recently? I'm a journalism student who needs to write a story about a controversy in my neighbordhood for an assignment, but I only recently moved to LIC, so I don't know the area as well as I should yet.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the responses! I really appreciate you for it

Hi! I’m moving into my first NYC apartment and found a unit in Packard Square 41-34 crescent street. Since it’s my first apartment, you can imagine I’m going into a deep dive about the apartment. I feel a little iffy about the unit seeing all the negative reviews, but recognize that only people with negative experiences would’ve written a review. Can someone here offer their insight or share what it was like? My unit isn’t rent stabilized and it’s a studio. I am someone who would love sunlight but i feel a little unsure if the unit will get it. I have a kitchen island which is great but also confused as to where the bed would go. Thank you in advance!

My Other option is a studio in 45-40 TFC but it’s $200 more expensive. Please help!!

Go find your early voting location, hours, and sample ballots at this link.

I suspect the early voting location for many in this sub will be at 1 Court Square, Long Island City, NY 11101, but check before you go to confirm.

There was a great turnout today when I went to vote. Suffice to say, this is an important election, so please don't sit this one out.

Does anyone know where I can donate clothes in LIC (or somewhere nearby)?

According to the Astoria SubReddit, this place is pretty awesome. Excited to try it out.

Neighbors recently told me that Happy Dogs regularly hits their dogs, and tbh, I didn't believe them. They also stop them from playing. This is totally mental, what dog daycare hits & discourages dogs from playing?

I've been taking my dog there for a couple of months. When I saw these reviews on Indeed & Glass Door by their employees I was floored!! I know some dog owners love them. The employees really don't like working there, and don't want to hit the dogs! I thought it was important that dog owners know what's truly going on at Happy Dogs.

I've called the NYC DOH & The Humane Society to report them, I don't know what else I can do to get them to stop hitting dogs in their care!

"I almost broke my wrist from their dog hitting/correction technique"

" learning how to handle dogs" , i.e. Keeping them quiet and not playing with each other at all times by intimidation or the "claw or poke" method."

"Another thing this company does is apply the poke method. Handlers got to poke the dogs whenever they misbehaved, but some would just flat out punch the dogs and laugh about it."

"tend to abuse the poke technique used on dogs and even curse at them. "

"She does not have any concern for the well being of the animals housed in her facility"

"They force you to poke the dogs really hard for correction"
