TO HELP Y'ALL REMEMBER... https://astoriapost.com/museum-of-nostalgia-in-astoria-come-for-the-toys-stay-for-the-memories When The Museum of Nostalgia in Astoria opened its doors last month, within two weeks there were guests that became regulars and an overwhelming amount of messages online and calls to the museum looking for certain toys, or to sell and even donate their collectibles. The part toy store, part museum offers its visitors a portal to simpler times and innocent joy-when toys were brought to life by childhood imagination. The museum is filled with thousands of toys, games, and other collectibles, mostly from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. The owners, Jeff Zappala and Phebe Taylor, have been collecting toys for fun for most of their lives and wanted to share their world with the community. “We just really wanted to make sure that we can contribute to the community and do something that’s different in this neighborhood,” said Zappala. “We do sell on eBay too, but it’s much more fun to have a kid come in here and [see a toy] and start screaming that he hasn’t had that since he was little,” Taylor added. Zappala and Taylor have been a couple since 2010 and got married in 2015. They both work in education, Zappala teaches second grade and Taylor is a sightseeing guide for a student travel company. When they met, Zappala mainly collected Transformers, and Taylor had a more diverse collection from her childhood era. It became a part of their relationship to help each other grow their collections. “When we got together, we just kept the cycle of collecting,” said Zappala. “Every Christmas, every birthday, we’d buy each other toys and we just kept adding to our collection.” Museum of Nostalgia Eventually they would have floor to ceiling shelves that a friend built for them, but they didn’t initially have a plan in mind to open a museum. Their first taste of sharing their collection came in 2020. While stuck at home during the city shutdown from the pandemic, a friend suggested they audition for HGTV’s Cash in the Attic, which they initially auditioned for via a Zoom call. While the premise of the show is to see how much your items are worth to sell them and put the money toward a major goal, Taylor and Zappala gained something else from participating in it. “The expert on the show is actually just a wonderful comic bookstore owner upstate,” said Taylor. “So he was our first contact with someone who owns a small business in that realm of nerdy, geeky collector stuff. The best thing about the show was not what we made in the auction, it was really meeting him, and he also introduced us to other people that have been very helpful.” When the 31st Avenue Open Street in Astoria became introduced to the neighborhood, the couple used that as a first point of contact with the community to get a better idea of what people responded to and were interested in. They would eventually become regulars at the Queens Night Market in Flushing, which they still attend, but once they found an available space for rent in the neighborhood, they were more than ready to put their ideas to life. “New York City doesn’t really have a lot of vintage toy shops,” said Taylor. Zappala added, “I think if we were just a toy shop we might be doing even better, but we wanted that little touch that separated us from any other toy shop.” Taylor and Zappala admit that with all of the toys and collectibles the museum is filled with, it’s only about 5% of their collection at home. They also have arcade style video games and a vintage Ms. Pac Man cocktail table which they keep in one of their most beloved aspects of the museum, a family room, complete with a plastic covered couch and TV, just like you may remember growing up. Museum of Nostalgia “Her concept was to have that environment of someone’s basement or your family room that you kept your toys in,” Zappala said. “I love this room. I never dreamed of how it would all come together. It just has a great feel.” According to the couple, many visitors often make themselves at home and watch whatever cartoon or movie they might have been playing that day. Overall, the reception from the community has been incredible. In the short time since they’ve opened, they have received great feedback and are regularly brainstorming to create new, fun concepts for their visitors to enjoy. “The turnout has been amazing, people have been so supportive,” said Zappala. “A couple in the neighborhood keeps on bringing different family members in. There was a guy that came in and he was tearing with joy. He was so happy to be in the experience and seeing triggering memories, like “I had this toy when I was younger.” The Museum of Nostalgia is located at 31-27 31 St. in Astoria and is open from noon to 7 p.m. daily, except on Wednesday.

Wear a fanny pack, but adjust it so the pack is on your hip, not blocking the meat or the buns. This topic brings back the fond memory of the evening at the Night Shift gay porn theater on 8th Ave when I was talking to Benny the cashier at the counter he was at (we were casual friends) and a guy came in wearing a sleeveless undershirt, jeans, work boots and a hardhat. He proceeded to take off the hardhat and his shirt, then took off his boots and jeans (revealing a jockstrap underneath). I gave Benny a quizzical look and he told me the guy's name was Hector, and he did this whenever he went there. Hector put his boots and hardhat back on, handed his jeans and shirt to Benny, and started to go towards the seating area. I groped a butt cheek as he went by, and off we went... now that's a BIG cock!

Yes, but you just have to embrace the absurdity that the most expensive team in each league's history will miss the playoffs, probably finish with a losing record, and possibly both finish last.

Elderly NYC beach shark attack victim had 5 surgeries in 8 days, now has permanent disability The 65-year-old Queens woman who narrowly survived a shark attack at Rockaway Beach earlier this month underwent five surgeries in eight days — and now has a “permanent disability,” her family said Thursday. Tatyana Koltunyuk — who lost a large piece of her left leg above the knee — will likely need more surgeries along with years of physical therapy, her daughter and son-in-law said. It's so sad that this YOUNG woman not only has to live out the many years she has left with this disability, she also has to live with having been slandered by @WilliamM's favorite newspaper, the NY Post.

Pet-friendly NYC homes pay $250 extra in monthly rent, study says A data study performed by Zumper to determine the most pet-friendly cities across the United States saw New York City rank 95th out of 100 cities on the list. The only cities in the study to score lower than New York City were Jersey City, N.J., Anaheim, Calif., Santa Ana, Calif. and Urban Honolulu, Hawaii. The low ranking in the study was thanks in large part to the conclusion reached that determined residents who reside in pet-friendly homes in New York City pay an average of $250 extra in rent each month. and that's if you can find one that allows pets.

Lars Nootbaar fouled a ball into a place that no one wants to be hit during Wednesday’s 8-0 loss to the Athletics. Nootbaar, 25, was up in the bottom of the fifth against starter Paul Blackburn at Busch Stadium when he fouled an 0-1 pitch into the ground and it ricocheted into his groin area. The outfielder crumpled to the ground in pain almost immediately before a team trainer could come out to attend to him. Nootbaar remained in the game for the rest of the at-bat and struck out, but he was replaced in the middle of the sixth inning by Jose Fermin. The team announced that Nootbar left with what they called a lower abdomen contusion.
