Ralph Schiano Street Renaming in Bay Ridge
Today, residents saw that 3rd Avenue and 92nd Street had podiums and the street was closed for a street renaming.
The street was named for Ralph Schiano, former owner of Marine Market. Marine Market opened in 1938. Ralph Schiano died in 2017.
Ralph was a successful small business owner and his shop was liked by everyone in Bay Ridge. One Ridgite said that George was called “the mayor of 3rd Avenue” back in the day.
I wasn’t able to find a photo of either Schiano or Marine Market, so maybe someone will share one. Also this event was not shared with the community.
George shared a video of the event here.
Hugs,
