Reply to NYC… neighbor complaints by SquareShoulder2766
I just can't get over the fact that 2 mothers meet up in the hallway and allows thier kids to run and you know that they're probably screaming too, and think that it's ok like a playground. And apparently thiers a place in the building upstaurs in a common area for children to play?
And that these mothers don't see anything wrong with it just is even more ridiculous.

The few times that I shopped there it was extremely overcrowded, full of tourists grabbibg everything, and very disorganized with the layout. Nothing there worth the time or money. Thank goodness for online clothing shopping!

Reply to comment by Ok-Judge-2492 in Is getting an Advanced Regents diploma that important by Ok-Judge-2492
Not really sure since it was awhile ago and things change, but speak with your guidance counselor since that type of diploma opens more doors based upon merit.
She went to Stonybrook and only paid for dorming, but was offered a good scholarship at NYU at yhe time however decided no because she wanted to get away from home. Look into all NY colleges since they are the only ones who know about the regent programs.

I think my friend who got the advance diploma received a free ride of tuition to SUNY and lot's of scholarships to private colleges. That was years ago but she still brags about it, so go for it.

I find that it's the recent transplants/people who act this way and not people who are native to the city who really don't g.a.f. where people are from. LA has rhe same type of people or worst that act like they're in the promised land.

I lived by a park and in the warmer months you couldn't open the windows with all of the noises, and was very happy when it turned dark. Never again.

Was added to the National register of historical places, not surprising. They should have keep those original lights though, it was like a step back in time. (Although I do remember the station being pretty dark given it that errie feel).

Yes! I remember that station with the lights and little bridges when we had to disembark from the A train and get off at this stop. It was so strange at the time and reminded me of Phomtom of the Opera. Then the old fashioned elevator with the gate and person operating it. Very cool since lived in NYC all my life and never knew.

Wow very interesting. Didn't realize how deep and hilly it is uptown. The elevators at the time was operated by a person which was wild, but awhile ago so not sure if that's still the case.

I've only been as far up there to 175th stop. Why is this tunnel so long and what's the points it's connecting?
I remember another stop that had to take an elevator uo to the exit, and some sort of lanterns and small bridges in the station to cross over tracks that was strange having never been at that station before. Upper West Side foreign to me.

He's the gift that keeps on giving and so crazy even for a politician. Needs to resign and get help, seriously.

Reply to comment by NKR1978 in Saks Fifth Avenue Wants to Add a Casino Atop Its Flagship Store by LouisSeize
Casinos will take anyone's money and usually fast, from low to high stacks. Atlantic City doesn't even have $5 blackjack, so we're not talking about a Monte Carlo type of place in NYC in any of these locations.
Own_Decision_4063 t1_j4aqnse wrote
Casinos attract a very different type of person than one who shops at Saks. Very expensive real estate on Fifth Avenue also, don't see this getting approved.

Everything out of his mouth is a lie and keeps building up with more fabrications each day. He must really be mentally deranged.

Reply to comment by Grass8989 in Private guards hired by MTA arrested for NYC subway beatdown by 1600hazenstreet
People open the emergency doors so that people on the other side can enter without paying. I see it all the time at the Times Square stations. More worried about crime in the subways instead of fare beaters.

You need to go to Queens to find the most authentic reasonably price food from so many different cultures before that changes. From Astiria out to Flushing and everywhere in between there are some of the best and most diverse food choices in the country.

Wanted to go to the world cup paid by NYC. He should stop being the celebrity major and jet setting, attending gala events and clean up his own mess of a city that he was stupidly elected for.

I thought airbnb was illegal in nyc under any circumstances? It has contributed to housing shortages and illegal rentals and displacing tenants.

Where's Elaine? Think that there was a Seinfeld episode when she changed phone numbers and was given the new area code freaking out that it wasn't a 212 number.
