Astoria Line

Oh they're nice.. I prefer black shoes, b/c they're easier to match in but if it fits nice then it works.. 465.00$ ??!! got damn, i can get 10 pairs of vans and a t-shirt for that price

That's another reason why I don't buy those Jordans, they're mad uncomfortable and I'm a size 13 as well, so they are rare to find. I prefer skate shoes and such for regular wear. i go to Catholic school and always get a nice pair of shoes for like 200$ and they last me the whole school year, while everybody else wears black sneakers and complain that their feet hurt

Concords were actually 180$ when they came out I believe, but now they cost more.. they are 250$ at this sneaker store called flight club in Union square on 11th and broadway (they have sneakers that are limited edition, so ALL the sneakers tend to cost more than anywhere else)

1.) Yes, they were one of the most expensive, but they are so overrated, like they came out in December, by the time February came around, nobody wore them anymore.. 2.) You wear those? You have a good style then Not too mainstream, I like that!

There are pairs of Jordans and Nikes that can go for $300+, there are limited editions that cost $600+, but the average price for a decent looking sneaker (from a sneaker heads POV) is about 200-300$ but thats average.. Yes I tell my friends all the time that they are made in sweatshops (they are made in Vietnam, I believe) but they don't care, they just wanna look cool, but of course, I have a better style than them without wearing those crap shoes..

I've had a pair before, but I got them like a year after they came out so they are cheaper.. But that isn't my style.. Converse, certain Nikes, Vans and Supras are my style.. Jordans are overhyped and overrated..

1.) Yes indeed. Maybe even earlier, my mom is in her 30s and ppl always think that she is my older sister and that she is in her 20s, she loves it. Kinda weird tho.. LOL. 2.) I never paid more than 120$ for sneakers, most of these jordans are crap anyways, everyone in my school wears them. I prefer to have my own style and not be mainstream . 30$?? what sneakers cost 30$ ? Lol, i only know certain types of converse that cost 30$ (not a bad thing at all, being resourceful actually).. Yes, but I never plan when I walk, I just randomly go down a certain avenue, whether in Astoria, Manhattan or Springfield Gardens, as long as I get to my destination, it really doesn't matter... That is kind of what the economy has driven them to do.. Seems buying in bulk is the only way you get a bang for your buck... I always wear a winter coat AND a hoodie in January/February, I'm used to hotter climates (based on where I am from) and I can't stand the cold.. I've never spent more than $60 for jeans, $ 40 for a shirt (not a t-shirt, like a button down), 30$ for a t-shirt. I don't see the point in spend $100s of dollars on ONE article of clothing or sneakers..

1.) That's funny, everybody when they see me at first thinks that I am younger than my actual age. Right before I moved out of the city, I ran into an old family friend, and he was like "What grade are you in? 6th? 7th?" and I was shocked I told him that I was in 10th Grade, and he was shocked, but then we had a conversation and told me that I am indeed very mature for my age, even more mature than the adults in the area, LOL. 2.) Are you joking about the jordans? lol, they're not even all that tho.. You walked 4.6 miles? Sheesh. That is similar to the time that I walked from South Ferry to 42nd St last year... I walked along the FDR Drive, through the projects I lived in, to 1st aveune then up to 42nd then over to times square, way more pleasant than walking through Midtown, although walking anywhere through Manhattan is very nice.. I noticed that, not only at Western Beef, but also in Pathmark.. It is cheaper for them to put less yogurt in the container (less made, I guess) but they make more money because they charge the same amt. for it... A very sneaky tactic.. This is why I have been starting to go to BJs and walmart over by Green Acres for grocery shopping, might as well get it all in bulk lol...

Q17- I've noticed that they bunch and don't get very full, I see them whenever I take the Q3/Q77, I think that line has a little too much service Q26 - I always thought that it should go to QCC, as it seems that it doesn't even get that much riders on Hollis Ct. Blvd Q46- I've only taken the route during the PM from LIJ to Union Tpke, so I can't comment. But i know that the route gets packed Q77 - This idea is brung up a lot, but thank god I live in that area now so I can talk about it. Springfield Blvd becomes a very narrow 2 way street after 145 Rd. I'm going to tell you two reasons why it won't work. 1.) Not much ppl even ride the Q77 to 145 Rd as it is, it always becomes empty either at F Lewis/Springfield or Springfield/Merrick. I live near the last stop and whenever I take the Q77 during the PM rush, I'm always the only passenger when the bus gets to Merrick. 2.) No one coming off the Q77 at 145 Rd wants the Q111, everyone that gets off there, lives by 145th Av/Rd mostly... There are school kids who may want the Q111 by IS 231 (over on Springfield/S Conduit) but little did I know, there are Q111 and Q85 school trippers heading to Jamaica and Rosedale, so that is covered.. A lot of ppl have come up w/this idea, but I never thought about it until I moved to Springfield Gardens myself.. Q83 - my friend says not many ppl are on near Springfield, so that could work. Whenever I take it, I either get off at Farmers/Murdock (for the Q3) or Murdock/F Lewis (for the Q77)

Do you think they would increase the fare on those if they took them over?

This^^ My two favorite artists, loved the Watch the Throne album! Otis is my 2nd favorite track (Primetime is my favorite)

I agree with the that tunnel is FAST! 53rd Street only Queens direction as others stated 63rd Street is fast I haven't been on Rutgers in about a month but I remember a fast ride The 60 St tube is only fast if you are on an or because the has to make a turn to get to Queens Plaza, therefore it isn't very fast...

I stopped drinking soda, most juices and eating fast food after I read fast food nation (for the adults) and Chew on this (the child version). Dropped 15 lbs in the past 2 months Na but really you all should read one of the two and learn the truth...

That's awesome! I wouldn't have been able to think of it myself

TBH, any browser is better than that dinosaur called Internet Explorer... I love Google Chrome tho! Firefox isn't bad either...

LOL, I always get ads for things I DON'T want.. If I get an ad for clothing its for either Victoria's Secret (Idk how, I'm a guy), Aeropostale or Old Navy (I don't wear those -___-) and then there are ads for meeting singles. Wtf ? I'm 17, I'm too young to sign up for almost all of those sites..

I'll take at try at this.... suspended runs in two sections: 2 Av- Norwood/205 St Coney Island- Atlantic Av runs from Whitehall - Ditmars shuttle service serves the Sea Beach line runs between DeKalb and Coney Island Two sections Lawrence St - Forest Hills 36 St (to connect with trains)- Bay Ridge/95 St

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LOL, that's crazy and pretty cool, they say in some instances that children listen better than adults sometimes, who knows? maybe the same could be said for this situation.. LMAO wow thats pretty funny! There is a company that fixes houses around 147th Av and maybe 226 St (5 blocks from my house) and half the houses on their block look like they haven't been updated in years... On a side note, yesterday I was on the Q85 at Jamaica Center in the AM meeting someone that I was selling a hat to, and then the Q5 came and on the back it said "Q3" Programming error maybe?

I would like this post because of this particular line (Thank you!) but I have reached my like quota for the day

Polos are awesome. Either Ralph Lauren or American Eagle polos will work for me and idk why ppl assume that, black is a very neutral color and matches w/practically anything that is why it is worn so much ^___^.. Yes, loads of ugly sneakers.. Vans and converses are simple and you can never go wrong w/them. Supra is a urban/skater type shoe and adidas high top sneakers are nice.. Some ppl have no style nowadays, they want to be sheep and wear what everybody else is wearing w/no type of originality or individuality at all smh (This is why I don't wear Hollister anymore)... Thank you! everyone tells me that I am way more mature than my age, I guess I am (i'm only 17) and likewise, there are ppl who say some really good things on this forum, like you and B35...

Yes they are! Many are ugly, and ppl know that they are ugly, but still buy them to resell them for more money.. Rather waste of time... That's why I prefer clothes and snapbacks to sneakers ... And simple is better than overzealous all the time! *thumbs up* Clothes is simple too, plain shirts, polos, graphic tees, cardigans and graphic tanks.. Actually fairly simple but still stylish Online its easier to be more outgoing b/c most of the time your not gonna meet them in person so any thoughts about them judging you aren't necessary, at least in my experience.. Although this is a transit forum, its very nice that we can have off topic conversations, we all share a similar interest but we are different ppl, and its nice to get to know ppl and discuss w/e we want too... I like the freedom and I like getting to know ppl so its a win/win for me!

Sheesh, you remind me of my friend in my school (b/c of your all-roundedness w/sports) . He played Baseball, Basketball, Football, Soccer and he knew how to skateboard too, and he was beast at it... He is one of only two black kids on the soccer team and the only black kid that I know that skateboards.... It seems like every guy is good at a sport other than me lol.. While all the guys play sports, I just chill on the side talking to the ladies Lol
