Well, we have that hear too, especially this time of year when they seem to be a lot louder. It's nice going outside and hearing absolutely nothing but the crickets.....and the occasional horn of the LIRR in the distance.... |

Believe it or not, I find the din of the crickets up here to be almost as bad as the noise on Jamaica Ave. I've actually gone back to sleeping with earplugs. It's THAT freaking loud. |

I know how loud they are, but they are their loudest from Mid-August to Mid-September....it's the loudest time of year for them right now. |

Is it normal for new stores to have growing pains? I stopped by 845 Flatbush Avenue on my way home from KCHC, and they had trouble ringing me up. |

If the cashier had no previous experience. Other times, you can walk into a brand new store and the manager who ran other locations can ring you up with no problem... |

What I found odd was that a common item, a jar of Tostitos salsa, wouldn't ring up. Two people behind the counter didn't know the price, and a third gave one that's 50% more than what I ordinarily pay, so I passed on it. My $10 change was given in one-dollar bills. No biggie, but I wouldn't have expected this, even from franchisees, after having been so impressed by the well-oiled data-crunching, bodega-killing machine depicted in that NY Mag article. |

Yeah, got friends all over the state there too, even one who keeps running for office. She's gone for congress, senate, governor, you name it. She's a fabulously whacky local, born and raised there. :)And they think WE'RE libruls. Heh. |

You'll get over it, they'll all be in the ice pack soon. :)Whenever I have friends up from the city, those critters and the cows mooing at night keep them awake. But they still wake up at noon if left to their own devices, much to their total shock! You seem to be settling in better than I'd expected. |

I just find the ads and how they clutter up the screens with garbage too annoying to watch anymore. I can stream half the shows I want to see from Russia without all that, so no need to endure cable. :) |

When I first moved out of the city....the first night I couldn't sleep from all the crickets.....and quiet. I slept with elevated train a block away....bus street....garbage truck....but the crickets drove me crazy.....now I love it. |

That amuses me because every first timer guest we've had up here from down yonder goes through the same thing, falls deep asleep after a while and wakes up at noon with a big WTF? :)Second night, no problem. We've learned to just get them all likkered up and then they never hear the crickets. That works too. Heh. |

I gotta check out that new Flatbush location, I wanted to after going to Ave J the other day, but I was traveling by car and didn't have the patience to look for a parking space. I'll hit it the next time I go by train... |

I just wished they had Diet Dr Pepper on tap though... :-( |
