Shared this website (www.whatsfree.nyc) here a while ago! As some of you may know from the old post, it's a passion of mine to find free events and I have been scraping different sites (some of them you contributed) to put them all in one place.

There are actually quite a few free events happening in Staten Island this weekend, including Movies Under the Stars, Faber Park Fright Fest, and OHNY (Open House New York)!

Note: I only focused on the OHNY drop-in locations. Thought I’d share in case anyone’s looking for free things to do this weekend! Again, it's just a side project and not perfect so always double check stuff before you go!

Like, a proper North Shore branch and rail connection to Brooklyn would do a lot. Proposed map drawn by me at 4AM with next to no context for where anything is, it doesn’t have to follow this exactly. Original map on the left.

Anyone notice a dramatic increase in speed bumps on the island recently? I came across a raised crosswalk, which I have never seen before. Guess we’re all going to be riding each other at 15mph while we go over 3 speed bumps on one block.

There’s a new Art class running at Lyons Pool, free for anyone 24 or younger, but all ages welcome (14+)

Their branding is concerning, using police emergency lights and a modified police badge decal. Are they volunteer police or something? Seems awfully alot of liberties to give a neighborhood watch compared to the red berets I keep hearing about. Is it legal with "emergency" written on it and red and blue lights? I just learned about jewish volunteer ambulances but I've never heard of those either until today and this doesn't look like an ambulance.

This might be a long shot but my dad found an iPhone near Old Town Playground. If you know anyone that’s lost their phone, private message me what type of phone and the wallpaper on it

Does anyone know a Patrick Thomas? If so we found a lost item of his and are looking to get it back to him.

Attached the link to the original video. Here it is again in case the other one doesn’t work: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeZ89M3PqBZ/

Crazy people on this island. Can’t imagine why someone would take the time out of their finite existence to be so heinous.

Posting this for a friend comment or DM. They are really worried.

This is Cooper, he's a street cat that's been coming around for ten years. He's a large orange tabby with green eyes and one tooth. He's friendly but cautious, but sometimes he'll go up to new people. He hangs around IBSEN AVENUE near Woehrle Ave.

I got 4 tickets in 1 day by a NYS Trooper worth 12 points. Im trying to reschedule on the DMV but wont let me. This is my first reschedule. Should I get a lawyer or should I just drag it out past the 18 month?

PS Tickets were for not signaling, illegal lane change and tailgating.

i mainly mean bars but anywhere really.

I did a search on the topic here and saw a few generic suggestions. I’d love to hear from someone who, fairly recently, completed a house addition and who their build team was. We have a 1000 sq foot ranch on an unfinished basement with crawl space (1949s build, needs electrical upgrade) and looking to either bump out or add a level. (Should rather add a level to preserve yard space) we are in the very early planning stages and need a walk/through consultation with a build team.

I’m curious, is anyone on Staten Island looking to move a pinball machine?

Someone’s indoor cat is outdoors on in West Brighton. The cat is incredibly nervous and I haven’t been able to get near it. They’re wearing a collar and seem like someone’s very nervous pet.

You can email iyoung@moec.nyc.gov to give your opinion! Community has the chance to make an impact.

Hello! I’m looking for a personal trainer that works out of Staten Island.

The client suffers from arthritis but has made a lot of progress with physical therapy and senior fitness classes. The main goal is weight loss, so she is seeking a trainer with experience in weight reduction whilst avoiding high impact activities.

The client has a membership at YMCA but is amenable to other locations on the island.

Please message me with recommendations or post IG/website links! Thank you very much.

The book truck will be around until 2:30 PM today infront of the Charleston Library.

Anyone know of a place on the island or nearby? Have a 3rd gen iPod nano that powers on to the apple logo but that’s it. Little bit of a rattle inside.

Come visit!

TIL that this short from 1941 was Ricardo Montalban's screen acting debut. Enjoy.
