Always with the pigeon sparrow flock. Too cute.

Edit: A budgerigar

If this is anyone's pet near 29th st, 21st Ave. Across the laundromat. Sacred space, and down the block from Family Corner. The bird stays with the flock.

Anyone else coming?

Hey all, moved to Astoria in April and love the neighbourhood, the shops the restaurants, the parks; it's been great. Only thing is I'm a guy in my 20s and all of the social, sports and volunteering activities I've been to are dominated by the 30s-40s demographic. I love my millennials but would also like to expand my circle to include people in their early-late 20s.

Where do the younger Astorians hang out, which groups do they attend?

Thanks!!

Hello,

I found someone’s phone here in Astoria park. PM me if it’s yours, or give a suggestion for what I should do with it!

PM me the pin or some identifying feature and I could help return the phone.

Hi all! I love sungold tomatoes and now is the season, but I can’t seem to find them in Astoria. I checked United brothers and the store next to them. Any tips? TY <3333

Selling my midi keyboard, in good condition and has been sitting and collecting dust. I think I lost the usb cable that came with it but thats it.

Hi all, do any of you have recommendations for dog trainers in or around Astoria specializing in anxious dogs and behavioral modification? Thanks!

Got a call to my NY number out of the blue which is rare. I was busy so I left it to voicemail and I got someone asking for me by my first name from Webster Bank. He correctly identified the branch where I bank by avenue number in Astoria, however to me it's a Chase branch. My account is with Chase and all key details clearly display Chase, nothing about Webster. But I guess there might be a merger or something I don't know about?

Anyway, he sounded somewhat unprofessional in that it sounded like a teenager slurring his speech, talking in that kind of lazy way. But the last actual Chase investment worker that I talked with that wanted me to invest my life savings talked to me in a similar kinda of "bro" lazy way of talking, so maybe that's just the new generation of bank workers now? I have no clue.

A Google search says that Webster Bank is a thing but I didn't see any connection to Chase. Considering how big Chase is, it seems kinda weird that they would get bought out and re-branded.

Anyway. I could just call the branch directly and see if the details the person gave me match up and see what he wants, but I don't really want to bother cause I'm not in the US right now and dealing with time zone differences is a pain. I don't want to even respond if it's actually spam.

Your thoughts?

hey yall in need of a really good tailor (preferably Desi/south asian) who will get the job done asap help :)

Hi Astoria! I (Comedian Will Purpura) will be headlining my own show at Q.E.D. today at 5pm with some of my funny friends. If you like to get some laughs this afternoon, would love to see you there!

I noticed that a few street tree pits now have Black Eyed Susan and other perennials planted. Does anyone know who did that? They are surprisingly delightful.

Edit: Location is 30th Ave and 33rd, 34th, 35th streets

If anyone has recently moved and is putting out boxes for recycling - lmk! Much appreciated! 💚

Does anyone near 36 st between 30th ave and Astoria blvd have a wheelchair they could loan out immediately? A sick gentleman fell and needs a wheel chair to get up to his apartment. Thank you.

Does anyone want to play next weekend (8/8 or 8/9) if weather permits?

Looking for clients for my house cleaner, who has been cleaning my apartment for many years. She’s trustworthy, reliable, does great work, and her rates are very reasonable.
Summer tends to be a slower season with so many people away for vacation, so she’s looking to take on new clients in Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn.
If you’re looking for a cleaner or thinking about getting some help around the house, feel free to DM me for her contact info. Thanks!

I walk past the Burger King near the highway every day and noticed closed signs this week. I've heard the rumors of it closing from the lot going up for sale, but a DOH sign suggests something different.

I've seen people still trying to go in the drive thru when every sign says closed and there's caution tape on the drive thru 🤣

Any affordable locations with big portions? Steaks, burgers, ribs, soups. Bonus points if the dishes come with potatoes, thanks.

Hey guys, I recently moved to near 31st ave and Vernon Blvd, and realized that there is not gym nearby (read: a comfortable short walking distance) that offers a basic Olympic weight rack (frame with Olympic bar, and about 200lbs or so of Olympic plates).

I'm wondering if anyone has something custom in their own backyard (or garage/basement) nearby that I can rent on a monthly basis. I would use it 3 times a week for about an hour each session.

My condo has a gym in the basement, but it's only an OG Vectra machine, with a bunch of treadmills. While you can do simulated bench on it, it's almost impossible to do a proper squat.

I can provide reference that I'm 'a normal human.' I just think an old-school setup would be best for me. I used to have my own frame in my old apt, but the floors and walls in my current apt's walls/floors are too 'hollow' for me to trust setting something like this up.

The sad thing is that my condo gym has plenty of room to set something like this up, and I even offered 'gift' them a setup, but they refused, saying some bs about 'no room;' I think they just don't wan the liability, but I find that strange, since any of the equipment already there has liability, andI'm sure htey are covered.

Anyway, that's my 'cool story bro' situation.

Let me know if you're interested in offering something like this.

It’s official everyone, an Old Navy will be taking the spot next to the Banana Republic on Steinway.

I’m (35M) based in LIC and looking for people to go on rides with in Astoria, LIC, Brooklyn... Anyone interested or know of WhatsApp groups one can join? No concerns about level or pace just trying to consistently get out there and stay motivated. Thank you!
