Fairytale Island’s Window Broken Again

Fairytale Island is a play center at 7110 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge. Kids love going there.

Today Fairytale Island was closed because a window was broken (again) and they had a lot of cleaning to do.

This is the second or third time that their window has been broken. Maybe it’s time for them to get a gate to put down at night. It’s sad to see them have to lose business because someone was angry.

Will the Golden Faction Make Ulrich Lose?

Eric Ulrich is a Republican City Councilman from Queens. He is running for Public Advocate. Ulrich is known as a moderate Republican and he doesn’t ride the Trump train.

Eric Ulrich is having a fundraiser on January 9th at the Dyker Beach Golf Course. The Golden faction of the Republican Party looks like it is supporting Ulrich’s run.

It was first believed that Ulrich was being supported by his former college classmate, Liam McCabe. McCabe has a following in the neighborhood because he ran a decent campaign and his campaign money was on point. Yet, Marty Golden didn’t support McCabe’s run. Why didn’t McCabe just run the event with the district leaders?

Ulrich and Nicole Malliotakis have a feud that has been going on for awhile. Most of the Republicans on the invitation have been supported or supported Malliotakis.

Did someone forget that Marty Golden was a 16-year incumbent who lost because people didn’t want that type of politics for their community?

Two of the politicians listed on the invitation received money from developers during their campaigns, so residents here wouldn’t be interested in Ulrich upon seeing those names. *The distrust for the Republican Party here is high by home owners. See here and see video at 1:35 – 1:37

There are a few thousand Republicans in Brooklyn and few factions of Republicans – why did Ulrich go with this group?

I don’t get politics…maybe it’s Golden’s plan for Ulrich to lose so his friend, Nicole Malliotakis will be happy. Malliotakis was supported by Sliwa, but Marty Golden was not, so maybe this is just a revenge endorsement? (Remember the Reform Party said Golden could primary Gounardes for the Reform Party line, but Golden refused).

Mezcal’s in Bay Ridge Closed

We didn’t notice that Mezcal’s Mexican Restaurant at 7508 – 3rd Avenue closed (next to Bagel Schmagel or across the street from Salty Dog).

We just thought the sign was down or the property was for sale. The property is for rent for $6,500 a month – see here (that is so high)

The sign on the door shows it was closed by The Department of Health for operating without a permit.

Politics is Funny Once in Awhile….

When I logged into Twitter, I saw the above message and I laughed.

Then I went to check the profile to see if it was a troll account – because I thought it was!

The account was made by someone being good-natured and funny. (See here) Apparently the beard is running for Public Advocate….might as well – everyone else is!

Also in good humor is Preet Bhara’s tweet – here.

Soldiers from Bay Ridge Serving in the Military

I noticed Saint Anselm lists the same four soldiers in their bulletin every few months and reminds people to pray for them as they are away in the war:
LTJG Victor Baldoni
PFC Steven. Giordano
Cpl. Patrick C. Wage, LSSA
LT Lauren T. Guddah
It’s strange that a local paper doesn’t profile them. I couldn’t find any info about them online either. But I want to know more about them.

RIP Steven Pollard, Brooklyn Fireman

Funeral arrangements here – light a candle here

First we saw the news that a Brooklyn fireman was seriously hurt while responding to a car accident near the Belt Parkway’s new Mill Basin Bridge. See story here and here.

Then we saw that he was being taken to Kings County Hospital and the Mayor was going there to see him.

But soon after the NYC Scanner revealed that the fireman died from falling off the bridge. Firefighter Pollard slipped through a gap in the roadway and fell to the ground approximately 50 feet below.
He was only 30 years old.

RIP. Prayers for Steve Pollard’s family. His father is a retired FDNY and his brother is also a fireman.

And for Fireman Pollard’s girlfriend.

RIP.

Bay Ridge Ballet for Boys

Besides Bay Ridge Ballet having ballet for boys, this business owner’s plan is one that other businesses that are starting out may want to copy.
Whenever I see pictures from her ballet school, I always smile because I know how hard she worked to make her dance school dream reality.
Everyone sees Ms. Patty, the proprieter having her business at 127 Bay Ridge Ave Bay Ridge Avenue now, but she started out small in the basement of an old church. From there she built her dance studio’s reputation as parents began to share their child’s positive experiences at the school and the Summer program.

Congressman Rose Declares Pier 76 as the Finest Pizza in Staten Island

What does a Staten Island Congressman do after one of the biggest events of life?

Yesterday, Congressman Max Rose went to his inauguration ceremony (see here, here and video here) and then he went to get a slice of the finest pizza in Staten Island.
Residents asked what place Rose went to, but most figured out that he was at Pier 76. (Tweet here)

Pier 76 is at 76 Bay Street in Staten Island 718-447-7437
