A sinkhole formed on 11th Avenue between 85th Street and 86th Street in Dyker Heights.
The DEP was on the scene investigating and measuring the sinkhole. All traffic was stopped on that street.

March 16, 2022Senator Andrew Gounardes Campaigns In The 95th Street Station, But Won’t Help These Men
As you look at your property tax bill, realize we have a $3B+ budget for services to take care of these fellow NYers

Where is the money going?
The Era if “Benign neglect” rolls on, under the same local politicians @Sen_Gounardes @JustinBrannan

Every morning there are men on the R train hotel pulling into the 95th Street Station. No one will help them.
If this whole community has to pay double property tax, we should see our politicians assisting these men off the train and getting them the help they need.
Click the video above and you will see the same men – but they are much worse now.
Ignoring them is not the answer.

March 15, 2022Red Bowl Restaurant Opened in Bay Ridge

Red Bowl opened at 8518 – 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge. 718-307-2828
Today, I saw Ridgites going into the new Restaurant! They serve Cantonese food.
See their menu here. They have lunch specials from 12-4pm:

The owners of this restaurant owned The Red Bowl Restaurant in Williamsburg, which is good! It closed due to Covid and now they are set up here!

Congratulations to the new owners. May they love being in Bay Ridge and have a lot of success here.
This location used to be The Pearl Room. It’s nice to see a new restaurant on this street because The Pearl Room has been closed a long time (after one of the chef’s passed away (not the owner).

March 15, 2022Mark Hanna (Bay Ridge) Wasn’t At the Virtual Launch Party For More Than Five Minutes.

Mark Hanna is running to be a Democratic District Leader in Bay Ridge.

Hanna posted the above flyer on Twitter saying, “Come and Meet Us.” I decided to go to the Zoom Meeting and see who he was and what he had to say. I was hoping to ask him some questions.

Throughout the meeting this is what we saw of Mark Hanna:

The Zoom meeting wasn’t a quick one either. The Progressive Democrats started playing games – no, I am not kidding.

This Brooklyn Can’t Wait group is the New Kings Democrats joined together with two other groups, The Brooklyn Young Democrats and The Lambda Democrats. While they say the word “progressive,” many of their candidate are socialists.

This group claimed to want to transform the Brooklyn Democratic Party and make it one that respects and includes everyone. Many speakers mentioned creating an inclusive party.
Their pledge:

They want to elect district leaders who will engage with the community and see what they can build. The reality is The New Kings Democrats are just like every other group, they don’t research a candidates questionnaire answers to see if they are true. They have endorsed in our area and the questionnaire didn’t match reality. (See here)

I learned one thing: every District Leader is up for re-election this year. *Their candidates all have cookie-cutter websites!

Then they brought out Jumaane Williams. Williams said, “The seat he is holding is not more than the people he represents.” Too bad Williams doesn’t work with that attitude.
.

Finally, after over an hour and fifteen minutes, Mark Hanna puts on his camera and talks for three minutes.
Hanna and another District Leader hopeful were out petitioning while this meeting was going on. Even they didn’t want to listen to the people at this meeting and they are being supported by them!
Bay Ridge, don’t elect people who overbook themselves and don’t show up at a meeting.

None of the progressives at the meeting seemed to care, as there were a lot of scheduled people who were supposed to speak, but didn’t show up. When someone shows you who they are – believe them.

Mark Hanna didn’t say anything about Bay Ridge and just talked about working for El Yateem and how he got interested in being a District Leader. Then he was gone.

March 15, 2022Max Rose Gushed About An Endorsement
Max Rose wrote on social media about his endorsement from Jo Anne Simon. Simon ran for Brooklyn Borough President and lost:

This is what Max Rose told us about Jo Anne Simon:

Rose forgot to tell people that Jo Anne Simon supported bail reform.
At the start of the Pandemic in March 2020, she wrote #NoRollbacks when people asked for changes to the new reforms.

Back then the Jewish community was asking for reform to the new bail laws because of the rise of acts of Antisemitism. (See here)
