All of your social media peeps out to your know damn well that I wasn’t gonna leave New York City without visiting this house FIRST. Which has been on my mind and bucket list for quite some time, and I finally had a chance to visit the “Real Life” Amityville horror house. Well, let me tell you all it was quite an amazing badass and scary experience at the same time. Even looking through those famous pair of window eyes gives me a little bit of the creeps, if you know what I mean?! 😱 😳 👻 🏚️ PS after arriving at the famous haunted house, I was very surprised that they had a cute little dog on guard, who was awaiting for my arrival in the front gates lawn area lol. But after my selfie taken with the home, and was halfway from driving away from the place when all of a sudden, the dog was no where to be seen, and I’m not sure if it’s a ghost, or has it retreated in the bushes, as soon as it started to rain. And yes i had my selfie taken on time before it started to rain heavily, thank god!!

Anyone surprised? This has been going on for years.

He spun his wheels all the way home — on the clock.

A lollygagging Long Island Rail Road foreman repeatedly slacked off on the job, instead using his work vehicle to go home or hang out at a friend’s house, the MTA’s watchdog found.

GPS data revealed the supervisor — identified as Frank Gullo in a public records request — spent nearly 66% of his traveling shifts during part of 2024 at non-LIRR locations, according to an Office of Inspector General report released Monday

I am wondering if anybody has been in my shoes or something similar. I am a NYC resident (license has Brooklyn address), I was driving my friend’s car - which is registered in Pennsylvania, she was in the backseat tending to her newborn. I got pulled over because that tints are dark for everything but the windshields. The officer gave me a paper showing my court date, however when I tried pleading guilty and paying a fine, it only gave me a fix it and pay a fee option.

How would this work, if it is not my car? My only violation was for the tints, I was not speeding or driving recklessly. I am unsure as to what the options are here, especially it is not my car, and we made it clear to the officer at the time I got pulled over.

Update: we ended up going despite the weather

it wasn’t nearly as bad as it looked — more like light rain and an empty boardwalk

honestly kind of a nice change from how crowded it usually is

just a small group walking, talking, grabbing food, hanging out for a few hours

glad we didn’t bail on it

we went to the end of the board walk and back, got snacks at barrier beets, saw a seagull flying with a crab, got dinner at Gino’s pizza.

Ty for all the love and support behind it. and if you were on the fence, come next time!

Hi, posting for my mom. My dad has this Irish ceramic statue that has seen better days. He passed almost six years ago suddenly and my mom doesn’t trust herself to repaint it. Is there a company or business that would repaint this? Photo of what it looks like now and what she wants it to be

This was very surprising. I know this is from the post but it does not change the survey results. That's all I'm going to say

Nearly a third of Long Island residents don’t believe the Holocaust should be required teaching and suggest Jews just “move on” from the “exaggerated” genocide, according to a shocking new survey.

The survey of roughly 400 Long Islanders revealed that a disturbing number of Nassau and Suffolk county residents believe Holocaust deaths have been exaggerated, with even more outright opposing the horror be part of required curriculum in schools.

“The survey is intended to provide a roadmap for all of us — regardless of faith or ethnicity — because indifference or ignorance of how the Holocaust occurred threatens everyone,” said Steven Krieger, a Long Island-based real-estate developer who helped fund the study conducted by national conservative pollster McLaughlin Associates
