RIP Tony Gentile – From Lonestar in Bay Ridge
This is another hard loss for Bay Ridge.
Tony Gentile, the former owner of Lonestar Bar for over fifteen years died.
Tony fought cancer for a long time. Now he is with God and no longer in pain.
Tony knew how to throw a great party and he will be missed by many people who loved his sense of humor, watched the game and celebrated important moments at Lonestar.
Prayers for the love of his life, Tracy, their sons and dogs.
RIP Tony.

Jesus is at Hallmark. Hallelujah!
While the world is in chaos, Jesus is being sold at Hallmark and no one noticed! He’s so cute! It’s nice to see him in Hallmark next to Snoopy!
The 13″ Jesus is $20.00. He is going to be great in some Easter baskets this year! https://shorturl.at/rLVBB
For the super sinners, you can get the 25 inch Jesus for $40. You know what JC you need! https://shorturl.at/kBLsC

Why Wasn’t Madeline Court Plowed?
After it snowed, NYC slowly plowed Bay Ridge. Some residents of several Bay Ridge “court” or “terrace” streets were upset because they were not plowed after the snowstorm this year. In previous years, their blocks were plowed.
This is a huge safety concern for our community. We wouldn’t want anyone not to receive help for an emergency because the streets were not cleared of snow. Can you imagine how awful it would be to hear that someone died because EMS couldn’t access that block?!
Wogan Terrance, Madeline Court and Shore Court were not plowed this week.
Shore Court wasn’t plowed by NYC, but private plumbers plowed because one home had a broken water line that needed to be repaired. (Strangely, DSNY’s website shows that they plowed it.)
When a property owner from Madeline Court shared on Facebook that their area was not plowed, many Ridgites were not sympathetic.
Those living on a court own their parking space, so some Ridgites were bitter over that. Many encouraged her to make a fund to pay for snow removal.
The residents on Court and Terrace streets in Bay Ridge should form a Facebook group and put their concerns together and bring them to elected officials. It’s a huge safety concern, especially because Bay Ridge is a NORC.

Proposed Truck Route for 3rd Avenue From 65th Street to 86th Street
Last night, Community Board 10 held their meeting over Zoom.
Community Board 10 revealed that the NYC Department of Transportation wants to run a truck route through 3rd Avenue from 65th Street to 86th Street.
The DOT does not care that the new truck route will cause safety concerns, pollution, noise or impact people dining outside of restaurants and cafes in Bay Ridge.
Community Board 10 voted to send a letter to DOT and elected officials outlining concerns and requesting traffic studies, enforcement details for overweight trucks and considerations for alternatives routes (such as 7th Avenue).
Councilwoman Kayla Santosuosso and Senator Andrew Gounardes did not attend the Zoom meeting. You have the wrong people in office – if they can’t show up for a Zoom meeting for the community board. they shouldn’t be in office.
Members of Community Board 10 want a public workshop with DOT officials to engage the community.
A handful of CB 10 members were upset by this. Merchant on 3rd Avenue are not going to appreciate this. In Sunset Park, 3rd Avenue is commercial and it’s not the center of the community. Look:
Today, CB 10 should have shared the information that they received from the city on social media. They aren’t good at sharing information.
Councilmember Kayla Santosuosso should have shared the information today as well.
Senator Andrew Gounardes represents a lot of the area where the truck route is, He should have spoken up, but as usual he is silent. Gounardes didn’t even speak up for the Citibike riders!
Bay Ridge, if this is the first time you are hearing this topic, then you know our politicians and Community Board are doing a poor job at communicating with the community.

Ridgites Piled Too Much Snow in the Street – The Plow and Salt Truck Got Stuck
Photos: Marianne C.F.
There is a lot of snow out there.
Some Brooklynites are digging out their driveways and then dumping the snow into the street.
This plow was stuck for four hours on a Bay Ridge street and had to be towed out. The salter (above) also was stuck because there was too much snow. Take it easy, Bay Ridge.
