Greetings, JH Lifers. Just in case you missed it, this website will be closing down on December 31st. It's been a great journey, but it is time for this site to walk off into the sunset (or whatever lies on the other side of the BQE). Please see our recent announcement for more information.
Hopefully this is just the beginning of a new chapter in efforts to build community online and in real life. Come join your neighbors at r/jacksonheights or r/queens on Reddit, Jackson Heights 11372 on Facebook, and the venerable JHfamilies group on Google.

South Africa leading the way yet again.Eanwhile chaos amd terror reign here in the United States of Dumb. NYC Tough! ...not
fear and overreaction has always been the American way. except when it comes to guns, which are soon to be inserted into the womb during pregnancy to guarantee infants can develop skills before heading off to day care.
Ha! Never too early for trigger discipline.
true. people who want cars where they're not needed.....not much different than people who want to raise goats in a co-op apartment.
Great, so open streets is a Marxism thing?? Ugh... That explains a lot.
I do feel that facts from the DOT are useless
The spread of the Omicron variant only underscores the failure of the major Western countries, the US above all, to develop a strategy for eliminating this deadly virus worldwide. Instead, we are told we must learn to "live with COVID", i.e., to accept more than 1,000 people, 400,000 a year, dying from it, and no one knows how many contracting long Covid that will potentially affect them for the rest of their lives. If people in our neighborhood are still wearing masks outside, it is because they know so many people who died or were sickened by the virus. Please forgive them for not following your enlightened "science".
well said. imagine if we were told we must "learn to live with cancer" ... then again, there are those science-denierrs who claim that doesn't even exist, so......
But people and the world do live (and die of) cancer.
We have learned to live (and die) of it.
It's a fact of being human and being alive.
There is no real cure for cancer. Yet.
Blaming the USA or anyone for a disease is strange.
It's nature...and as yet mankind has not been able to completely control nature.
That's what COVID has proved.
But medical science has done a remarkable job to keep many diseases in check. Including COVID.
Still, nature remains more powerful than we are. Even more powerful than the USA!
And we do have to accept that. And live with it.
Agree. It's sad that we can't have a nicer store to shop in here but the prices were higher and that news went around the community very early on. I believe someone with a more unique product or approach could make a go of it though. The TJ's in LIC, for example, is pretty busy in a smallish space
and I think that could work here.
