Fireworks in Bay Ridge on January 15th for the Temporary Ceasefire in Gaza

Why are people setting off fireworks in Bay Ridge on January 15, 2025? Palestinians are celebrating the temporary ceasefire in Gaza that will begin on January 19th. The ceasefire will last for 42 days. (Info)
There is also a hostage deal that will include releasing hostages during the 42 days. (Info)
Many news outlets said that both Biden and Trump’s people negotiated the deal. (Info)

Councilman Justin Brannan must not be aware that Trump’s team was working on this too as he thanked only Joe Biden:

It’s a ceasefire for 42 days – I wouldn’t throw fireworks for that or release statements UNTIL it’s a real ceasefire for good.

January 15, 2025Shame on Joe Borelli For Playing Politics with Justin Brannan and Writing ANOTHER Article

Politicians who aren’t taking action for NYC communities write a lot of ridiculous articles. Joe Borelli knows that he shouldn’t do this. (See here)
Justin Brannan should have called out Senator Andrew Gounardes for failing to do his job – year after year! Gounardes keeps thinking of ways to tax us, but is too timid to stand up for the community!
Joe Borelli could have called out Mike Tannousis. Neither Tannousis or Gounardes are working to lower the cost of housing in our overtaxed areas. We should see both of these men in Albany protesting Hochul. Instead Gounardes is playing on social media every day and not taking action.

January 14, 2025New Pot Shop Coming to 3rd Avenue Between 94th and 95th Street


Tonight at Community Board 10’s Police and Public Safety meeting, they announced that Cannalicious LLC at 9415 – 3rd Avenue is shown as being Active on NYS’s list.
Community Board 10 did not receive a notice from Cannalicious for this location. This dispensary did try to open in Bay Ridge before, but that location was within 1000 feet of Kaya Bliss, so they couldn’t sest up there. CB 10 sent a letter to the Office of Cannabis Management.
This location used to be Shore Road Hair Styling, where Joe and Dennis cut Ridgites hair for years. (Info)

January 12, 2025Cereal Drive for Grandma’s Love – For Families in Our Community

Grandma’s Love is an amazing organization in our community. They pack bags of food and send it home with children, whose families may need a little help.

The Parent Association at MS 407 (the school at the Nathan’s location) is having a cereal drive for Grandma’s Love. This is a great idea because cereal stores well and most children like cereal!
Do you want to help families in our community?
You can stop by and drop off cereal at the school on 86th Street and 7th Avenue.
I know I am not going to remember to do that, so I sent cereal from Amazon to MS 407’s Parent Association at 650 – 86th Street Brooklyn, NY 11228. (Delivery time from M-F 9:00 am – 2:00 pm.)
