There's a newstand/store at the corner of Newark Avenue & Grove

🤡

No one here will be there. Redditors complain to each other on Reddit about things that no one in the subreddit has any involvement in. They'll just say, "what's the point?" then continue to complain here all day every day for absolutely nothing. 😂

I was waiting for this response.😂

You don't understand the point of THIS, but you somehow understand the point of complaining on Reddit. 🤦

Weirdo. We're talking about customer service. Of course no one has to say hello, just as no one has to patronize their business. 🤦

Oh, I'm sure there are plants.

Better reason would be which one has what you want and is the easiest to get to.

Actually not as close as the proposed one right next door to one that got shot down. But a mere few blocks away, from the shot down one, which makes all the cries of it getting turned down all the more dramatic and ridiculous. Yes, the dispensary right next door to the Daycare got shot down, but there will be several more within walking distance from it. 🤦

Sorry, but there's no need for a dispensary on every corner of a residential neighborhood and certainly not next to schools or daycares. You'll just have to stretch your poor legs and walk 2 or 3 blocks more. 🤷‍♂️

I haven't gone to Metro, but that would definitely be my go to if I was looking and it was convenient for me to get to.

They literally don't clean. They have bottles at the desk that members can use on their own to clean equipment themselves when they use it, and not everyone does. It has dirty CARPET (in a gym 🤮) that smells and looks like it hasn't been vacuumed or shampooed since the 1990s, there are visible spiderwebs in places throughout the gym, the mats are filthy and worn and also look like they've been used and not cleaned since the 90s, there's no proper filtration and air flow, and I could go on. They hardly even pick up weights and return them to where they belong. Lack of cleanliness is definitely not an opinion, it's a fact.

As for friendly people, sure the members are, but certainly not most of the staff. Maybe if you have been going there every day for 30 years, they say hello. I am a long term resident, but most of the staff is not long term staff. There's a gentleman in the morning and 1 female who's sometimes there in the afternoon who are the exception to the rule and are always pleasant. Every other staff member I've encountered doesn't even look at you when you come and go, and couldn't bother to say hello or goodbye, even when I say it to them! They're just weird. I've never experienced that in ANY gym I have ever gone to. Even gyms with bad service, if you say hello 1st, they'll at least respond.

What exactly do you find the opposite to be true?

Originally Club H, Base Gym is prominently positioned on Columbus Drive. It was better when it was Club H. And yes, Club H is a high end gym.

World Boxing Gym is dirty, unkept, and most of the staff is not friendly or helpful, so it wouldn't fit into what OP is looking for.

World Boxing Gym is not clean, nor is most of the staff friendly or helpful.

CHEESECAKE Factory?

Not bad.

Do you know the price?

Yes. The more new people that move here, the more crime/drivers/crazies getting worse. It was much better before gentrification.

Even a casual read of my quote you're referencing makes it clear I didn't say anything about YOU shopping at Whole Foods. 🤦

What's is hilarious is that you have an imaginary scenario made up in your head about someone else getting mad about imaginary characters. Now THAT is a fun life. I guess.🫤

You understand that the sheer action of moving does not automatically equal pricing others out, right? I'm actually not solely placing the blame on people moving into a neighborhood, unlike you, who's placing it only on "NY Nimbys."

"You lost your home, oh well, not my concern, it was the NY Nimbys that did this to you. By the way, before you move away can you tell me where the nearest Whole Foods is?"

I'm priced out, so I will move to your neighborhood so you can be priced out. But the real problem is the people that caused me to be priced out. Way to take zero responsibility and shift the blame. Rents are astronomical only because there are people willing to pay them. They know people will move to an area, and pay outrageous amounts for small, poorly built, cramped highrise apartments, and will continue to pay it and do nothing but complain about the flooding, thin walls, bad HVAC, noise and all their other building issues, and neighborhoods on Reddit. Also, there's lots of places other than DTJC someone priced out in NY can move.

But the sentiment remains. 2 completely different customers.

Agreed. But I'm even more tired of large developers and wealthy residential transplants running long time residents out of their homes.

Oh, so that would explain everything, because the quality of the place went down so much from it used to be.

So, it was sold?
