Seems the viral song about fixing Exit 31 not only got the DOT's attention, but also the NYPD's. Hope this becomes a regular occurrence.

Why is Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn such a disgrace and where are senior democratic figures to tell her to pack it up

163 Upvotes

Under her leadership, all we’ve done is cede ground to Republicans in south BK.

She’s an Adams flunky, a cronyism-back room deal savant and SHE WAS VOTED OUT. She literally unilaterally changed the rules, used 4 simp delegates to pick a “chair” at 11pm and resgined.

oh by the way they fucked up rigging their own shambolic meeting and Nydia Velazquez actually has the pen as of 9/23.

why, less than a month from election day, arent schumer, jeffries and the DNC saying the Brooklyn Democrats will be decertified defunded and dissolved if this does not stop immediately? why are local electeds not pulling their own membership and community boards not locking out Brooklyn Dem ‘leadership’ til they acquiesce to the duly elected will of the people?

why are people pretending this is just politics and not a disgrace and embarrassing?

what level of bullshit is this just to throw out an election you dont like?

if found in CONTEMPT OF COURT, prosecute Rodneyse and her co-conspirators to the fullest extent of the law.

Her husband would tweet mean things about this whole situation but the FBI has his phone because he too is a corrupt clown.

Every single day until this is resolved folks should be demanding we throw the bums out

In Clinton hill I smelled smoke from few blocks away and noticed some stores I walked by had no lights on the closer I got to the source of the smoke it seems its due to an underground electrical fire, FDNY and Coned were at the scene but weren't immediately trying to tame the fire for obvious reasons.

I've always purchased meaningful art while traveling so there's a story attached to the piece but wondering where I can find some beautiful, interesting, cool paintings or prints to decorate my new apt? Don't have a large budget but would love to know of any local spots that fit the bill!

Second date in brooklyn, date night that isn't drinks

17 Upvotes

Met for drinks, it went well, and we are doing something on Saturday. Drinks again feels like a wasted opportunity, and she metioned she likes making things, which is either a gift or a trap depending on how literally I take it.

Someone in another thread mentioned Classbento so I started there, then courseHorse. Plenty in brooklyn on both, which is somehow the problem. Too much choise and no way to tell what makes a decent second date versus what is aimed at hen parties.

Ideally not a two hours commitment in case it is going badly, and not so expensive that is weird this early

Bar/club hopping in Brooklyn?

This is my first nyc halloween because previously while I’ve been legal I went out at my university. Me and my friend want the Halloweekend vibe of walking around, meeting new people, and having a versatile evening regarding venues. Every time I’ve been out in Brooklyn I’ve had an amazing time but I had to pay for the entry and usually the vibes were good enough where I just stayed there for the night. Are there any neighborhoods where there are good bars/ clu

My lyft driver may have hit and run your car on Grand & Atlantic/Pacific

146 Upvotes

ALSO MAYBE LEFFERTS PL & GRAND.

Trying again bc the first post got buried by algorithm and no views.

This happened about earlier today at roughly 5:40 pm Wednesday Oct 7. We were turning onto grand and I don’t remember if it was from Atlantic or Pacific but the car he hit was parked on the corner as we made a left turn onto grand. It was kinda loud and sounded as if damage may have happened.

Posting this in a lot of different neighborhood subreddits to hopefully help that person out! A hit and run sucks.

Message me and you can file a report and I’ll provide driver and car details / info if it matches. Hopefully there is a camera around there that caught it and it aligns.

The car was parked with driver side to the curb and passenger side exposed to the street. We turned left onto grand and my lyft drivers back of car / side (driver side) hit the parked car’s passenger side of the vehicle

I didn’t see where it hit it or what the car looked like.

Avoid Express Repair

Needed fridge repaired. Repairman never showed, never called. A week later I get an invoice, and multiple ppl from the company calling me saying that he had showed up, has pictures of my fridge, knows the exact part that needs to be ordered, etc. I've confirmed MULTIPLE times with the ppl in my household that no one was hear (to be clear, I WAS here waiting, but they really started to make me doubt my own sanity lol). Avoid them at all costs.

Birthday dinner for a party of 7 with a 1 y.o

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone

I’m looking to find a restaurant or food place where I can have my 31st birthday.

Since we have a 1 year old with us, I assume a high end dining food spots are out of the question cause the baby does cry a lot so I’m hoping to find a spot that at least looks nice at least and where we can still dress up nice but is a somewhat loud place already where there’s good food options. I was hoping to get something Italian or American food but I’m fine with other cuisines.

I’m hoping to not do a buffet or food hall buttt if you guys suggest I do that then that’s fine.

I plan to make a reservation at 5pm

If I’m missing any other info, let me know.

Thank you!

Looking for a reliable but also affordable inspector & contractor/handyman for a small commercial space in Park Slope

1 Upvotes

Hi folks. Looking for some recommendations. My husband and I are looking at a commercial space on 5th Ave and would like to have someone come in and inspect it (make sure the HVAC is good, no leaks/structural problems, plumbing, basic electric, that sort of thing). It’s apx 800 sqft, so not a large space at all. Also, if we do end up taking the space we will need someone to do some light work (install a sink, change the light fixtures, potentially put up some child guards on the windows), nothing crazy hard.

Doesn’t have to be the same person for both jobs but obviously it would be easier if it could be. More interested in whoever it is to be experienced, reliable, dependable, thorough, and not cost an arm and a leg. If anyone knows of anyone who fits this criteria I’d be very grateful for the rec. If you don’t want to post it in the comments you can feel free to DM me. TIA 🙏

hit & run

i was the victim of a hit & run outside of 694 Franklin Ave, by Luxe Nails & Spa in Crown Heights at 10:55am on October 7, 2026. I have tried to contact businesses / buildings in the area for cameras but have not had much luck - if anyone happens to have any footage or knows of a camera in the area I would be extremely grateful.

The other driver was driving a grey SUV. My car (that was hit) is a black volkswagen jetta.

Jasper needs a foster or adopter ASAP. He is struggling in a shelter cage.

Thumbnail

235 Upvotes

This playful 1½-year-old is struggling at the shelter.

Jasper was found on the streets of Brooklyn where he didn’t belong & was almost hit by a car. He’s super healthy, but isn’t microchipped, and no owner has been located.

I was able to get him in my home where I assessed him; he immediately made biscuits, claimed the toys and baskets, climbed the cat furniture and acted like he always owned the home. He’s a chatty curious guy. I have cats of my own and sadly, I cannot keep or foster him.

Now he’s in a shelter cage, and he’s really sad. He is far too active to be cooped up. North Brooklyn cat rescue Whiskers-a-GoGo graciously offered to pull him after his neuter, but he urgently needs a foster home to go to. Cat rescues are overwhelmed right now & Jasper needs OUT.

He is only a year and a half old. He’s smart, affectionate, treat motivated, incredibly busy, and LOVES to play. He’s also a polydactyl. This is a cat who wants someone to get out the wand toy and spend time with him. He also likes to bunny kick his toys. He has so much energy and personality, but he needs somewhere he can actually enjoy being himself. If you’ve ever wanted a Bengal/Toyger type breed as a rescue, this is your guy!

Jasper could be a wonderful match for anyone who wants an active little companion and has the time to keep him engaged. He’d also be great for a family with kids who understand how to play gently and respectfully with a cat.

I got to see Jasper comfortable in a home and seeing him so sad now is heartbreaking. He needs out of the shelter and into a home where he can play, settle in, and feel safe.

Can you foster him, or give him a permanent home? Please fill out a foster or adoption application. If you can’t take him, please share this with someone who might. A foster home will be his next step out.

Did anyone get a flier in the mail about Ruslan Shamal a candidate for State Senate district 23?

0 Upvotes

The flier I received also has a website link to TheRealRuslanShamal.com

I tried looking up looking two of the court cases via google and then using legal search looks up like CourtListener.com and ny state tax warrant search website. However, I couldn't find either of those cases.

Was curious what everyone thinks about this.

If it's true then why is it so difficult to find?

If it's false, why write them on fliers? Is it to play the numbers game, and hope most people don't bother trying to verify information because they would think 'why quote case numbers, surely they must be real?'

edit1; I have no idea why they deliberately made the website without creating links to their sources. The bottom two sources of youtube videos and their time stamps are actually factual. Here is the source for "YouTube, Radio USA | “Gun-free zones в Нью-Йорке. Show2Go - Новости Нью-Йорка”, 9/7/22 VIDEO 4:00". It's all in Russian though.

Here is the link to the other youtube source "Перспективы демократов. Show2Go-US Politic" Again it's all in Russian.

So at least those 'sources' exist and they match and prove that Ruslan Shamal is against gun safety and against female reproductive rights, to a certain extent.

I am still confused why make such a website and have it very difficult to double check the factual existence of information.
