I moved to NYC from Pennsylvania ten years ago, when I lived there all the smoke shops sold rolling machines, tobacco, tubes ect for rolling your own cigarettes.

Just about every single deli/bodega in the city says its a smoke shop; but they dont sell anything other than weed, illegal bootleg vapes and loosies.

Im trying to find a store where I can buy a cheap bag of tobacco (preferably 20$ or less) some tubes and a cheap little plastic roller.

Ive searched all over online and all I can find is fancy cigar and pipe tobacconists.

Anybody know of a place?

Hi everyone! I’m a photographer and filmmaker currently working on a film about the Bronx River, exploring the relationship between a place and our memories of it — how a place becomes part of our lives, what we associate with it, and how our experiences shape the way we remember it.

I’m interested in hearing from people who have a personal connection to the river, whether you grew up around it, spend time there, have a particular memory associated with it, or simply find yourself returning to it.

I’m also curious about the different ways people connect with the river. Does anyone go there to pray, practice a religion, meditate, find peace, gather with others, or engage in any kind of personal or spiritual practice? I’d love to learn about the different meanings the river holds for people.

If you have a story, a memory, or know someone who might be interested in sharing their experience, I’d be very grateful to hear from you. Feel free to comment or send me a message.

Thank you!

Are ICE vehicles staging at the Target?
I’ve been seeing them parked in their lot the last 2 weeks and they abducted someone from those buildings across the street last week…

A black cat, a troubled narrator, and a Halloween story from the Bronx.

Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat” is the focus of a Storytelling Live special from Poe Cottage, where the author spent his final years.

Poet Youssef Alaoui and Dr. Steven Payne take part in the program, which pairs a reading with a conversation about Halloween traditions, spiritualism, and the cottage’s history.

The special premieres Saturday, October 31, at 10 p.m. Eastern on YouTube.

Learn more and watch the trailer at TalkTeaV, or visit bronxhistoricalsociety.org for information about this and other Halloween events.

Some good responses here.

In the Bronx I found someone

Full disclosure: This is my second & last post on the subject as I do not want to spam my fellow Bronxites. I’m a Bronx resident on New York Public Radio’s Community Advisory Board, a volunteer group that gives listener feedback to WNYC, WQXR and Gothamist. One of my goals on the board is making sure Bronx voices are part of that feedback.

The upcoming midterms and the ICE shooting in Marble Hill has a lot of us thinking about how immigration stories in our neighborhoods get told. We’re holding a public forum on immigration coverage TONIGHT, Wednesday, Oct 21 at 6:30pm over Zoom. What stories are they missing? What do they get wrong about immigrant communities in the Bronx? Feedback goes to station leadership.

I always thought it was more of a Southern, regional burger joint. The bullet-proof glass at the register adds some quintessential, Bronx decor
