Century’s in Bay Ridge Is Going to Be Demolished
The Commercial Observer reported that the Gingi family, who owns the former department store, Century 21 on 86th Street have filed papers to demolish the buildings, between 448 and 460 86th Street.
See Department of Buildings document
So after the permit is approved, 86th Street will be a wreck for awhile. And then there will be new beautiful retail buildings to revive the shopping area.
The article says they are going to build Class A retail development. A plan filed with NYC, but not approved says the building will change from a UG 10 Department Store to UG 6 Retail Store. (See here) This will divide the huge department store into smaller stores.
The owners plan on pre-leasing the property to new retailers and will announce who will take the space in the next five to six months.

RIP Diane Hunt – Bay Ridge
Diane Hunt, a woman who loved Bay Ridge, died on February 17, 2022.
Hunt organized charity events for the St. Baldric Foundation.
DeeDee is known for being outspoken and truthful. She believed in respect for the police and common sense politics.
One thing people probably don’t know about Hunt is that her son, Jimmy was murdered by his friend in 1988. (See story) DeeDee belonged to a group, Parents for Murdered Children, who help keep murderers in jail and they fought against them receiving parole.
On 9/11/01, Diane worked as a secretary at Citibank in Manhattan. When the towers fell, a female officer assisted her. Diane found the officer and had an award made for her. (See story here)
Read the story here
Dee Dee loved flowers. She loved dogs and cats and always shared posts about missing animals.
.
On Saturday, March 26th there will be a memorial at Christ Church on 73st and Ridge Boulevard at 11:00 am.
Rest in peace with Jimmy. Prayers for her daughter and grandchildren.

Coney Island Crochet Artist Created Ukraine’s Flag
Calvin Lee, a crochet artist in Brooklyn created a blue and yellow flag to show support to Ukraine and his Ukrainian neighbors in Coney Island. It’s such a kind thing to do!
See Calvin Lee’s video on TikTok here (you don’t need an account)
Lee crochets when he is traveling on the train. He created hundred of hats to give out in NYC to homeless people. I’m surprised there aren’t any stories about this thoughtful Brooklynite.
See more of Calvin Lee’s installations here.

Brannan Put a Brush to Graffiti on Shore Road
Shore Road received a touch up today by Councilman Brannan. Hooray!
He wrote on social media that this graffiti bothered him. Why doesn’t all of the graffiti in the district bother him?
A Ridgite told me he doesn’t notice the graffiti. If you don’t notice it, you are sleeping. It’s all over and if you read it, some of it is hateful towards Asians.
Why hasn’t the graffiti been removed from Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights?
A Bay Ridge resident wrote this on Twitter:
This graffiti is in Dyker Heights. It was reported, but it was not removed. Children walk over it every day to get to school.
It’s an election year, so it might disappear soon.

Noah Weston and Chris McCreight Battle for Democratic District Leader – District 46
Breaking News: Noah Weston and Chris McCreight will battle for Distict Leader of District 46.
Oh no Chris McCeight will be running for District Leader in our part of Bay Ridge. #Silent Chris would be the worst candidate for this position. He never speaks out against corruption.
If you are represented by Mathylde Frontus, you are in District 46.
The good part: Noah Weston lives in Bay Ridge. He supports transit riders, service workers and caregivers. Also Weston loves dogs and probably would have spoken up about this. (See here)
Chris McCreight supported Brannan and Gounardes (bail reform champion).
The bad: The word socialist is not on Noah Weston’ website, but it says it here. I asked Weston if he was a socialist and he didn’t reply. Noah Weston is further left than Councilman Justin Brannan.
Also, his social media accounts were all created recently. How strange! Weston worked on Khader El Yateem’s campaign, so it’s strange that he wouldn’t have a Twitter account until February 2022.
I have never seen Weston speak out against those holding office – maybe he has, but it’s not evident.
Noah was collecting signatures outside of Foodtown in Bay Ridge.
The District Leader position is an unpaid position. The District Leader is supposed to choose more candidate to run for empty offices.
Final thoughts: Noah can pet my dog. I wouldn’t vote for Noah because I don’t want the police to be defunded or any more bail reform that let’s people out of jail before they served their time. Even if Noah paid my property taxes, I wouldn’t vote for him.
