Anybody else wish the SIR was larger?

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.

First time seeing this vehicle... Is it a cop or not?

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.

Speed bumps

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.

Lots of free events this weekend!

17 Upvotes

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!
