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...
With the Verrazano being closed on Sunday morning, what will the sim4 route look like?
For the holidays, I wanna give my Sanitation guys some $$ and a bottle of their favorite libation or beer. To my SI sanitation peeps on this thread, what kind of bottle/beer would you appreciate? Suggestions appreciated!
If you spot him, please dm me as soon as possible. He is like a brother to me and family to us.
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.
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?
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?
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!
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.

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!
Hello, I'm 19M and have boxing as a hobby. Not looking to hurt anybody or get hurt, just light sparring with protective gear and cushioned gloves. Looking for a friendly partner to do light sparring/technique training with. My experience is beginner, and I shadow box in my free. Please dm me if interested, preferably if you live in zip code 10307.
I think the original post got shadow banned! Please DM me if you’re interested.
I am thinking about making a group chat as stated, to plan weekly events for people looking to branch out and meet others. If you’re interested please shoot me a dm. I plan to make it on instagram/facebook so we can all be as transparent as possible.
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!!!
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!
You can’t call to find out. We don’t want to drive there from west Brighton for nothing! Someone help!!!!
For clarification, I’m talking about the one that was next to the DMV / Chuck E Cheese
Someone took a repurposed "Chewy" box stuffed to the brim with thoughtful baby shower gifts for my wife and soon to be born baby. I don't think anyone would have any use for them. Maybe someone desperate for dogfood that ended up with a bunch of baby clothes? Or maybe someone shameless who just wanted to steal. Not here to stir up crime talk just if you're in the area or walk the park and see a box ditched reach out pls. My cousin who sent it is beside herself because she had been building the box over a long period of time. Thanks all.
Smelled this a few times now so far...can't figure out what it is. Anyone got an idea?
Saw what I believed is the retired Barberi in the harbor today. Anyone know where it’s headed?
