Wheels Taken on 10th Avenue and 85th Street

Imagine haven’t to come out to your vehicle looking like this on Easter weekend? This happened on 85th Street and 10th Avenue.
We don’t need any more speed cameras, we need security cameras that the community can use and alert the police. A few cameras and some signs about the new security will deter some thieves.
There are a lot of people in Dyker Heights who would be interested in keeping an eye on their neighborhood. (When men went down a manhole, a Dyker Heights neighbor watched the manhole on her camera for hours!)

If you like unique jewelry, stop in and see Melissa before the store closes for good.

March 31, 2026New Housing Development Coming to Staples Lot in Bay Ridge? 9305 – 5th Avenue

I saw Community Board 10’s Meeting announcement for changing the zoning for the Staples lot at 9305 – 5th Avenue.

In 2024, this lot sold for $17 million dollars:

A developer wants to put up an 11-story apartment building with 292 aparments on this lot. The new buildding will have retail stores on the ground floor with housing above it.
On Wednesday, April 15th Community Board 10 will have a committee meeting about this property b and then on Monday, April 18th, the whole Community Board will vote.
I think CB 10 will vote in favor of this (the CB 10 members don’t live near 5th Aveue.
This is what Community Board 10 shared:

Staples would be the perfect location for a Trader Joes because it has a good size lot, but this development will take that away.

March 30, 2026Mario Caggiano is Running for Democratic District Leader in District 46 (Against Chris McCreight)

FINALLY. I have been waiting for Mario Caggiano to run for office. Mario is running to be the Democratic District Leader in the 46th District.

Chris McCreight held the position of District Leader for years. McCreight didn’t bring new people to run for office. Chris supported his friends running for office: Justin Brannan, Andrew Gounardes and Kayla Santosuosso. When someone announced their candidacy against Brannan, McCreight did not welcome him to the election and encourage a primary to let the people decide (McCreight wanted Brannan to run unopposed.)

By now, Chris McCreight, the current District Leader in District 46 should have stepped down. McCreight served as Chief-of-Staff to Justin Brannan for many years and did not speak out once about the corruption happening in our community.
Politicians who have overstayed in office need Dino to put them out:

I don’t Mario personally, but I have watched him do many good things for people in Brooklyn!
Mario has been a NYC public school teacher for 30 years. He’s very active in the Kiwanis Club and always doing some good deeds (giving out school bags, bringing sneakers to the NYPD for domestic violence victims, etc.)

The NYPDn 60th Precinct shared this picture.
Mario is a father and well-respected by people because he is a good man. Mario heads an organization which helps children and families in need: https://www.communityheartbeatny.com
Politically, Mario is not part of the group of Democrats in office – which is a good thing! He is a member of the Seagate Democrats.
A District Leader is an unpaid political position. District Leader s do not vote or pass legislation. The sole purpose of a district leader is to support Democrat candidates for election in a community.

March 30, 2026Fort Hamilton Army Base Cancelled It’s Concert and Fireworks Show This Year

I saw that the Fort Hamilton Army Base cancelled their annual concert and fireworks show that was planned for June 18th.

I asked the Fort Hamilton Army Base representative why the concert and fireworks were cancelled this year.
They said that the federal hiring freeze has hurt their ability to have enough personnel to carry it out the event.
If you noticed the army base shut their back gate – that’s also because of the federal hiring freeze and not being able to have staff there to keep the base secure.
The good news is that the concert and fireworks will not be cancelled forever, but for now they have to forego it.
