May 3, 2026Were Shots Fired in Bay Ridge Tonight?
Around 8:50 pm tonight, a person called 911 and reported that two gunshots were fired from a speeding car on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 86th Street in Bay Ridge.
Hopefully, the sound came from a modified car exhaust and not someone actually shooting a gun. Let’s see if the NYPD or politicians clear this up.

May 3, 2026The Kindness of Bay Ridge Neighbors
I love writing about kind neighbors in our community!
a) One Bay Ridge resident added a Trinket Trade Box next to the Little Library at Shore Road. This Ridgite wanted to bring some fun to Bay Ridge!
What’s in the box. You can follow them on Instagram at BayRidgetrinkets. They shared this photo: https://www.instagram.com/bayridgetrinkets

b) A young Ridgite is making cute beaded frogs and leaving them around Bay Ridge to find. Why? She just wants to make people happy!
Such kindness! May God bless these nice people, who care about making others happy!

May 3, 2026Now That There’s Good Weather, Shore Road Residents Are Hearing Music AGAIN!
Now that it is Spring, Bay Ridge residents living on Shore Road are hearing music on Saturday and Sunday from around 4:00 pm until almost midnight. Residents described the music as loud percussion music with singing and instrumentation. The music is followed by fireworks and it’s a nuisance.
A couple of year ago, a Bay Ridge resident complained to politicians about the loud music because he and his family couldn’t sleep. When politicians failed to do anything, the resident went to Staten Island and found the music being played at Clifton public parking lot, which is across the water from Shore Road Park.
I wrote about it here:
If you are hearing loud music, contact Council member Kayla Santosuosso. If she doesn’t respond, continue to call or email her office. 718-748-5200 Other numbers: 718-373-0954 and 212-788-7363

May 3, 2026Dixy Chicken and Grill on 5th Avenue Closed
Dixy Chicken at 7504 – 5th Avenue closed. I was surprised so many Ridgites said they will miss this chicken.
The building was sold at the end of February for $1,830,000. It was listed in October for $1,820,000 (so the market is good).
