For many Jamaica, Queens, commuters, the first and last stop of their daily ride has reached the end of the line. On Sunday, the MTA relocated 15 bus routes in Jamaica, Queens as the 165th Street/Jamaica Bus Terminal permanently closes. The buses shifted a few blocks east to the brand-new 168th Street Interim Bus Terminal, closer to the 169 St F subway station. What’s behind the move? The old 165th Street stop is being redeveloped.

Spotted lanternflies (SLFs) are hatching again across New York City. Though the first adult sighting hasn’t been officially confirmed by the state, reports of nymphs are already surfacing in multiple boroughs — including one that I found on my dog in Queens last week. If you’ve noticed tiny black bugs with white speckles, especially near parks or tree trunks, you’ve probably seen one too.
