Sunset Park Shooting-Man Found at 68th St.
Loudlabs Video
Early this morning, a man was shot on 6th Avenue and 47th Street by someone he knew. Loudlabs video journalist shared that the 911 caller said they heard 5-6 gunshots.
A 911 call was made and the police went to 68th and 4th Avenue and found the man around 6:10 am. He was shot, but the police were able to talk with him. The man was brought to NYU (Lutheran) hospital.
This did not happen in Bay Ridge, so don’t overreact and say, “What happened to neighborhood?” Stupid shootings after a night of drinking have gone on between people who have known each other in Sunset Park for years (that’s why some people can’t have guns).
Ironically, the 72nd Precinct in Sunset Park did a crime prevention initiative last night (more pics here). Maybe they should avoid those because it triggers some people to act out.
There are a lot of police cars in Bay Ridge this morning.

August 30, 2019Eric Adams Compares a Twitter User to the KKK
Brooklyn Borough President is so enraged that he would compare a Twitter user to the KKK – that shows he can’t handle the heat and needs to get out of the kitchen. Story here.
I’m sure the Jewish people in Brooklyn are not going to appreciate Eric Adams comparison. It show he doesn’t understand the Holocaust even a little.
Eric Adams got caught doing the wrong thing and doesn’t want to be called out by residents for it.

August 29, 2019Participatory Budgeting is Open – Don’t Waste Your Time
Participatory Budgeting is when community members give ideas for projects that can help their community.
Then the community votes on the projects.
Then we are supposed to see great things happen.
What Really Happens: School Projects were allowed on participatory budgeting last year.
What’s wrong with that? Schools already receive NYC Funding and if they wanted Smartboard, they would have purchased them with school funds. That’s what other schools do. Brannan could fund schools with other money – he has other money other than what is part of the participatory budget.
People objected to schools being funded through this last year, but no one heard them.
When it comes time to vote for participatory budgeting, children are able to vote in the process. That’s great because it makes them part of the community, but of course they will vote for their school project and then community projects don’t go through.
Some people have submitted projects for our area already this year. Sadly, they are simple quality of life issues with easy fixes (add trees, add garbage cans, etc).
Last year I was so excited when I read the ideas that Bay Ridge residents submitted. But none of those cool ideas made it to the voting round.
Tese were the that went through:
a) School projects – smartboards
b) Cameras for 5th Avenue (haven’t seen them…years ago, we were supposed to have received cameras from Gentile’s and Golden’s funding, but we never saw them)
c) A $500,000 butterfly garden (no I’m not kidding). It sounds like something amazing right? Yeah it’s not. Take a lo0k at Park Slope’s $600K butterfly garden here
d) Gates around trees at Owls Head Park (I haven’t been there so I don’t know if there were installed).
Participatory budgeting is supposed to be for cool community projects like a community place where artists can meet or teens can play basketball – things that are for people to build their community. Last year, someone recommended a sensory garden for children with disabilities – that project didn’t even make it to the voting section.
As you can tell, I’ve lost my faith in rigged systems, overrides, red tape and lame people who can call 311, but can’t call on anyone to help with real problems like inflated property taxes and illegal conversions.
Go here and submit an idea. There’s a Bay Ridge resident who recently shared pictures of a swing for a child or an adult in a wheelchair. Hopefully, she or someone else will submit that project here.

August 29, 2019Cocoa Grinder is Moving to 4th Ave and 93rd St.
Cocoa Grinder Cafe is moving to 9302 – 4th Avenue.
A pet shop called Firs, Fins and Feathers used to be there (the pet store moved to 95th Street and 4th Avenue)
Currently, Cocoa Grinder is at 9504 – 4th Avenue. That’s a sweet location as it is right next to the subway entrance. Also, across the street is Harbor Fitness.
Across the Avenue from this shop is Dunkin Donuts. And across the street is a eatery/coffee shop called Gustaro’s. See here
Answer to your comment: Yes, of course this is confirmed.
