Mathylde Frontus Has a Challenger – District 46
Assemblywoman Mathylde Frontus is facing a primary challenger this June. Dionne Brown-Jordan is challenging Frontus.
\
I saw Dionne campaigning in Bay Ridge. I stopped to ask her a few questions. She was easy to talk to.
Dionne Brown-Jordan has been a Democrat District Leader with Mark Treyger for several years. She is also the president of the Southern Brooklyn Democrats.
Dionne Brown was born and raised in Coney Island. She went to Abraham Lincoln High School, Kingsborough, Touro College for her Bachelor’s Degree and Phoenix for her Master’s Degree in Psychology. Dionne is the author who has published under the name D.L. Jordan. You can find out more about Dionne here.
Social Media: Dionne’s Twitter account here and her instagram
As a District Leader, Dionne Brown recently honored women and men in District 46 (See here). I know hundreds of women in District 46, but I didn’t know any of these women, so it may have just been for Coney Island. (See here – scroll to the right to see more photos)
Update: In June 2022, she held a men of honor ceremony. (See here)
Dionne marched with Michael and Ari for Israel.
Finally, Dionne Brown served as chief of staff to former Assemblywoman, Pam Harris. (Info) Dionne said she enjoyed that job. She attended community events, shared information with the community and helped constituents with things like housing. Source
While I don’t think Mathylde Frontus represents me or most people I know that live in District 46, I do think Frontus is a good person and ethical. I don’t like Frontus’ views on bail reform and I don’t care for her “Community Think Tank” meetings because the moderators of the groups are not home owners, so the topic of property taxes was not discussed at either meeting we attended online. Frontus has failed to write legislation to help home owners in our district.

Bouziri Recalls N Train Ride With the Shooter
Richard Bouziri from Bay Ridge took the N train to work on Tuesday morning. Unfortunately, Bouziri was in the same train car as the shooter.
Bouziri recalled the ride and he said that when the shooting began, minutes felt like a lifetime. He laid on top of a woman to protect her. Bouziri told the woman that they would be okay, but he thought it was the last moments of life because he kept hearing bullets.
When the train pulled into the 36th Street station, Bouziri got off the train and kept looking back. Someone in the station filmed the train pulling into the station and Bouziri exiting the train:
Richard Bouziri said everyone on that train is a survivor. Bouziri is doing his best to move on. Bouziri said at night he remembers the smoke, the people screaming and the bullets.
The Spectrum News reporter said that Bouziri went to get his car fixed because he doesn’t want to get on the train right now. Richard Bouziri said he isn’t leaving Bay Ridge over this.
We are glad the shooter had bad aim and no one died!

Brooklyn Bay Seafood Closed – New Restaurant
Sadly, Brooklyn Bay Seafood closed. I was sad to see this place close as the seafood here was fresh.
A new restaurant, Spice Szechuan, an Asian restaurant has already opened in its place. I know two people who have gone there and said the food was good!
I thought it was the same owners because they have the same phone number, but new owners have renamed the place and have a new menu.
They are offering the seafood dishes that Brooklyn Bay Seafood had along with their new menu.
Good luck to the new owners!

The Greek School of Plato Spreads Culture
These girls from the The Greek School of Plato performed this beautiful song and dance.
The video is named: Lazarines. I asked someone what lazarines are and she told me it’s like Christmas caroling, but for Easter, the biggest holiday of the year for Greeks. Orthodox Easter is on Sunday, April 24th.
Petro Laskar Fourniotis, the instructor looks proud of his students.
The Greek School of Plato is at 670 – 92nd Street.

New Buildings – 3rd Avenue & 99th Street
In July 2020, three houses were knocked down on 99th Street and 3rd Avenue. (9952, 9956 and 9960 – 3rd Avenue).
Now the buildings are almost complete. The Narrows is at 9956 – 3rd and these condos have the balconies in the photo above. I heard about their rooftop pool.
There are 40 condos in the building. Ten have already been sold from $689k for a one bedroom to $1.349 for a three bedroom condo. (See here) Here’s one on the 6th floor that is available.
Their website shows this digitally created photo of their roof:

In 2019, the former owner made good money on this sale. (See here)
