Teens Driving Recklessly in Bay Ridge
A few people wrote about teens driving recklessly in Bay Ridge. Some Ridgites questioned them because they had not see the reckless driving that was described.
We wouldn’t have believe it either because the teens around here are really good (compared to the way teens were years ago).
Right before 3:00 pm, we were driving on 4th Avenue. Approaching us were two fast moving cars – one in the lane next to us going in the opposite direction (which was correct). The other was driving towards us in our lane. The two cars were racing each other and banging into each other’s side. We thought it was a one-time occurrence.
Weeks later, the same thing happened around 3:10 pm on 4th Avenue in the mid 70’s. The drivers weren’t speeding, but they were playing chicken and driving next to each other. Their car handles hit into each other’s doors. I looked at the drivers this time. They appeared to be 16 – 18 years old. I called 911 this time.
The police aren’t patrolling so the teens know they can get away with it on 4th Avenue.

March 7, 2025The Lockyard in Bay Ridge Closed
The Lockyard is at 9221 – 5th Avenue. I saw the photo above this afternoon and I was surprised. Turn the page?
Their last day is Sunday, March 9th. If you missed it, they shared pics (here) and made a group (here)
I heard about The Lockyard closing, but I thought it was just for renovations. A group of Ridgites were meeting at The Lockyard to play chess and they told me they had to find a new place because it was going to be closed and there was going to be new management at Lockyard.
Then there was this:
I called The Lockyard and asked if the place was sold. A staffer said they were working on it and nothing had been announced yet.
Lockyard has been open for almost twelve years. Many people held celebrations there because people love the Locktard’s backyard.
The windows were covered over with black plastic and the Lockyard sign was removed from the storefront.

Councilman Justin Brannan did not hold a memorial for Debrina Kawam, who died in his district. He also wasn’t in the videos for the one held by religious leaders or by the people in Sheepshead Bay (a state senator representing another area spoke at the memorial.)
Yet, Councilman Brannan is quacking on X about Noem doing a political stunt.
Noem blamed the mayor and governor in the video below. She wants the governor to rescind the sanctuary city status.
