Facebook neighborhood groups are the worst thing ever

Are you up in NY now?

no, this person is just reminiscing about growing up there

I didn't realize there were still so many TCBYs out there!

I was thinking the same

The one in my hometown is still open, but there's only one other in the Baltimore area.

In 1991 TCBY moved into the tallest building in Arkansas, Simmons Tower located in downtown Little Rock, and the building was renamed The TCBY Tower until 2000 when TCBY vacated.

I could've also mentioned it It's the tallest building in Arkansas, but it doesn't always have to be about me.

I don’t think my home town ever had a TCBY ... we did have a Sambo’s

the one for the broader West Philadelphia area is a literal nightmare so much of the time that i stopped really checking it, but have stayed on it because sometimes i need to search to see other denizens' recommendations of where to get shoes resoled, or obscure cleaning supplies, etc..

it's been a minute: what happened to EXCELSIOR and Zing threads? because sometimes:

East Bay Veterinary Clinic Located at 568 Grand Avenue Sold Me Counterfeit Flea Medication And Killed My Dog

Is that a song title from the next Mark Kozelek record?

tbf that vet clinic has always seemed pretty shady to me

I love the honest-to-God gerrymandering that goes on Next Door:

Like, what did the guy at 47th and Pike ever do to piss off the Levy Pike mod?

Then there's the fact that while the other neighborhoods take up almost entire zip codes, at least 100 sq blocks, we've got "Levy Pike" about a dozen blocks? And oh, I guess "Francis Street" deserves its own neighborhood watch since, lemme tell you, it's nothing like those other neighborhoods.

And again, those poor homes caught in that Wheeling West Virginia strip between Francis and LP. No, I'm sorry y'all. You should have thought of what you were doing before you bought the house of the guy who used to mow the lawn at 7 a.m. on Sundays.

hahahahahahahahahah

surely my city, with actual city-recognized neighborhood associations with boundaries..
*checks nextdoor*
hmm, well that isn't right

Lately mine has become a rotation of:
- Look at how this jerk parked! (photo of car too close to poster's car)
- Look, a homeless person in the subway, what is happening to our neighborhood?!
- I saw a delivery person for ____ littering! They won't have my business anymore!

Here's what I see, over and over again.

every day, fuzzy night vision camera of "man checking car doors last night" with accompanying useless description of "man"

Someone finally got a Facebook group going for our neighborhood (as opposed to Nextdoor) and it's mostly been a force for good, to my surprise.

However, a few months ago on Nextdoor, someone without any video evidence reported a "hispanic family" caught in the act of breaking into their boat. Then they got salty and deleted it after I pointed out that could describe a few hundred people in our neighborhood.

Camille Paglia is on my partner's NextDoor and it's going about as well as you expect.

more details please!

ours are mainly just arguing over who owns which cat

lol.

"If you are in this group and on Mayfield and your dog has been barking non-stop since 9am, PLEASE make it stop. I have a sleeping baby 😩🙄🤦🏼‍♀️."

10 year olds... don’t react to small stuff? some wires crossed here

I mean, I watched all 86 seconds of it, but that doesn't mean you have to.

I did and I don't know why

*Man rings doorbell*

*Man waits*

*Man walks away*

*Voice says, "Hello?"*

*Voice says, "Hello?"*

*Voice says, "Hello?"*

Melody: Maybe I misread, but the way he kept looking around behind him looked like he was trying to assess if anyone could see him.

Those teens are out of control . The police need to do something or we need to stay at home until those teen are out of the street . Very danger . I just moved to Baltimore from Florida , and I didn’t expect to see this here . The city is beautiful and people very friendly. I’m in love with the city but getting very scared

very danger
much teens

But I dunno, sometimes they aren't so bad.

the comments on a nextdoor post explaining parking and street restrictions over the weekend when “the president” is visiting are something

how about a thread with several pictures trying to figure out what to do about a fence that is too close to the sidewalk. then the fence's owner shows up and says they installed it after researching the code, etc. then the passive-aggressive person who posted it says "i feel scolded!" as if they didn't post it to scold an anonymous person. then the discussion continues for many more comments than the last racism post got.

How close to the sidewalk was the racism post?

What happened on January 31st?

I don't know where Mike lives, but

2020 – The United Kingdom's membership of the European Union will cease in accordance with Article 50 after 47 years of being a member state.

That is correct. The UK leaves the EU at 11pm UK time on Friday Jan 31.

lol. anytime there's fireworks, cue the people complaining how rude it is to their pets

Oh fuck yes, get a thundershirt for your furbaby and STFU.

nextdoor!!!
Observed on Bay Place, a shoplifter confronted by a Whole Foods employee, who then smashed his beverage containers upon the sidewalk. I followed him across the street and captured his visage for posterity.

I found an even dumber sort of group: I got invited to a catch-all group for graduates of my high school (which I obviously did not join)

There is a discussion thread where people are debating what year had the largest graduating class. 1976? No, 1980 was surely larger. Some people are sure they know the exact number in their class, and remember their class rank (?!)

I have no idea why anyone would know or care, is where I am at

this is a question that can probably be solved with a 30-second phone call to the school's admin department, and can absolutely never be answered by simply guessing on facebook

great work

I don’t think mundane discussions are about ephemera as much as they’re about people looking for a reason to have mundane discussions

I should start one asking if the school had an official mascot, and if so, when

In case you were stocking a Shirley temple.

transportation department posted a survey about dockless scooters, pearl clutchers and pedestrian haters have everything to say that's bad about things that move but aren't cars

I think you've got a good point and I hope no one is hurt. The Bible
definitely forbids leaving them in front of people who cannot see and it's
not safe. I just enjoy them People definitely are obligated to leave them
in safe places.
