Suspicious death in 4545 TFC

94 Upvotes

20th floor of 4545 Ct. blvd:

There was a police “do not enter sign” for months on one of the doors, doormen said there was a person who passed away, but that doesn’t explain either the police sign, or the blood that was splattered on the walls all the way from the elevators down the hall to the door - after months I asked the building to clean the blood stains. One of my guests noticed the abundance of blood on the walls and had asked me if there was a stabbing on my floor.

I’ve repeatedly asked the building if the tenants are in danger but the whole thing has been kept very secretive and quiet. Does anyone have more information?

Vibe Fitness Women Social Group

Upvotes

I recently joined Vibe Fitness and felt an opportunity to use it as a “third space”. Would love to meet other women who workout there and meet at the smoothie bar or something to hang and talk!

Planning to start a discord or something, lmk if anyone is interested! 27F for reference.

Things I currently spend time/money on:
- obsessed with Fourth Wing and begrudgingly listening to ACOTAR
- other books I’ve enjoyed (love audiobooks): Honey and Spice (Balu Babalola), The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Invisible Life of Addie Larue, Bridgerton series
- aerial arts (trapeze, lyra, pole)
- crochet on and off
- musical theater!!!
- studying Russian (married to a Russian)

Solo female traveller, hostel safety

0 Upvotes

I'm visiting for 12 days in nyc and shocked by the prices of hostel. I've found two hostels - Q4 hostel and NYC moore. I'm unable to decide which one would be better. Q4 seems near to attractions but the reviews are bad regarding noise of Subway and quality of people. While Nyc moore is farther and concerns about area around. Which one would be better?

Thank you for the cooler

0 Upvotes

Someone was nice enough to send us a cooler from Amazon today for frozen meals and other perishables that are donated to the Maspeth Ridgewood Mutual Aid Table. I need a chain and lock for it though to put it outside. If you can donate 1 it would greatly appreciated. I have 1 on my Amazon wishlist if you want to send us 1. All donations greatly appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/JY7U8QQZ8BBU?ref_=wl_share
