4th Avenue Commotion – Bay Ridge
Helicopters flying overhead and emergency vehicles all over – 4th Avenue between 93rd and 95th Street.
The R train is not stopping at 95th Street because of this commotion.
People are holding up phones videotaping nothing, but commotion. See here
The police closed 4th Avenue between 94th and 95th Street and two ambulances are standing by because a woman barricaded herself in at 9408 – 4th Avenue. Someone said she has a gun, but there is no one shooting. The streets are closed off and there are about 60 people here watching a few police officers walking around, but nothing is happening outside.
The police finally brought the woman out of the building, she was put into the ambulance and it drove away.

September 25, 2019Fake Fedex Delivery – Robbery
Don’t open your door for a delivery. You can get it later. Story here
Click the video below, but first you brace yourself that this happened in Bay Ridge (around 6th Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue)
On Monday afternoon, this fake FEDEX guy pretended he was delivering a package. The other man flashed a badge and pretended he was a police officer. (Source) When the Bay Ridge resident answered the door, the man forced his way in and nd his friend robbed a family in Bay Ridge.
The Post shared this photo and the one below
How awful!!
The men tied the people up with tape. They took $40,000 in cash and $80,000 in jewelry (in the video, you can see they make the resident open a safe)
A neighbor went into their home, took the pictures above, helped them remove the tape and called the police.
Below is the getaway car.
The police said they didn’t have the video above. (Source) It first appeared on Reddit yesterday – see here.

September 24, 2019Fig & Olive Tree Restaurant – Bay Ridge Closed
So sad to see that Fig and Olive Tree Restaurant on 3rd Avenue and 71st closed. They were open for a little over two years.
They sold flavorful Moroccan/Egyptian food. If you tried any of their tangine dishes, you understand the loss. I knew they were having a hard time, but I thought being on seamless would have helped them.
To the owners, Nadia & Said – you will be missed. Thank you for having a great place for us.

September 23, 2019What if Joe Saladino Beats Nicole Malliotakis?
I noticed that Gale mentioned candidate, Joe Saladino here
What if Saladino beats Nicole Mallitakis in the Republican primary?
Staten Island is home to a lot of Republicans who would like Joseph Saladino’s forward nature, his Youtube platform and his #ForgottenNoMore hashtag. See his platform here.
While Malliotakis said she wished she didn’t vote for Trump, Saladino supports Trump. See here. That statement is going to hurt Malliotakis in this election.
Also in the election is Staten Island’s Michael Grimm and maybe another candidate. A lot can happen before 2020!
