School of Rock Coming to Bay Ridge on 69th Street – Circles Cafe’s Original Location

The School of Rock Music School will be opening on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 69th Street.

The music school will have lessons for children and adults. (See here) They also have Summer Camp sessions in July. (See here)

This is a good location for parents as CoffeeRx is next door and South Brooklyn Foundry is a few doors down.
The information about this new business came from a strange article about Councilman Justin Brannan teaming up with a realty, Allied Properties. (See here)

The article referred to the real estate firm as a “local firm” so I went to see where they were located because I couldn’t recall seeing an Allied Properties office in the area.

Then I saw this:

How strange that the article left that out! The Nathan’s property and the 5th Avenue location where an elementary school will be built were also owned by Tim Ziss. (Info)

Brannan’s never had a huge interest in music schools in Bay Ridge before. The Bay Ridge School of Music had students play at Carnegie Hall last year and Brannan didn’t pay any attention to the talented students at that school. (Info) The talented kids and that school should have been a highlight of the 3rd Avenue Festival.
Maybe Brannan will go work for Allied Properties when his term is over.
This location was Circles Restaurant’s original location in Bay Ridge for forty years.
