Patsy’s Pizzeria is Coming to Bay Ridge
Patsy’s Pizzeria is coming to Bay Ridge at 8814- 3rd Avenue where Trace Mexican Restaurant used to be. The location is strange as it is next door to Nonno’s Pizzeria.
But Patsy’s doesn’t sell slices – just whole pies. It’s more of a restaurant than a pizzeria, so people will continue to love Nonno’s. BTW, if you have not tried Nonno’s meat tortellini with alfredo sauce, you have no idea what you are missing.
The owner of Nonno’s is one of the nicest guys – he will make anything you ask him to make! Call Nonno’s 718-238-6200 – you always get a happy voice on the phone.

August 12, 2017#Charlottesville It Showed The World What Exists in America
Hate exists in America. Charlottesville showed us how bad it is.
A college student named Peter Cvjetanovic traveled 2600 miles from Reno to march with his friends in #Charlottesville
Peter Cvjetanovic – Looks like a very angry man
The name Cvjetanovic is probably Croatian.
Cvjetanovic attends the University of Nevada. He is a History/Political Science Major.
Staten Island’s Borough President tweet about the guys in the picture was funny. Don’t these guys know how to go out and have fun on a Friday night?
This is all very sad – for our country.

August 11, 2017Brannan, Potter and Quaglione Call for an End to the Bottle Tax
Justin Brannan, Regina Potter and John Quaglione call for an end to the bottle tax as it is redundant in NYC since we have recycling. See article: here (by the way the article is well done because it has almost every politicians viewpoint – thank you Kadia Goba).
Liam McCabe wants to issue summons to the Asian grandmothers who are taking bottles from recycling bags. Yes, I understand some are a bit aggressive and go into people’s backyards, but the 68th Precinct doesn’t have the man-power for that.
When I see “my lady” I run in my house and get my bag for her. Since I haven’t brought the bottles to the store to be recycled, I am glad she takes them. She is just collecting to get money for her family. When I go to my family’s business in Gravesend, I take their bag home in my car so I can give it to my lady because I know she would be happy to have it. These are good people. I don’t want the cops to give them a hard time. Some people don’t speak English and being approached by the police would scare them.
I completely understand when people are upset if they are making a mess or going in their backyards, but no one has done that on our block so we haven’t experienced it. My lady is very neat, takes her cans and ties the bag back up. A lock on your gate is good for NYC life too.
*Interestingly, Liam McCabe wants to go after the companies that are collecting the bottles and cans and bringing them to other states for higher returns – 10 cents a can (see his video). Some of the grannies go to these redemption centers, rather than grocery stores because they get 6 or 7 cents per can/bottle. If the bottle tax is done away with, these companies are going to be giving the grannies less money (because they will have a monopoly on the system – they will be the only ones collecting them. So this probably needs to be checked out at some point as some people will still be collecting bottles.

August 11, 2017Meeting for Bay Ridge Socialists – Right Before the Primary
Oh yeah….the Socialists are having a second meeting. This time the Anarchists were left out of it (see last meeting: here).
Trump became president at the beginning of the year and the Bay Ridge Socialists didn’t hold any meetings. At the end of July, on a Summer weekend, they held a meeting.
Looks more like a ploy to push El-Yateem in the primary.
————————————————————————————————-
Join us at our August 28th organizing meeting at 6:30 pm at Union Chuch. We will be picking up where we left off at our recent panel and discussion of immigrant defense and sanctuary in Bay Ridge.
We will start the meeting with a discussion of this article:

August 10, 2017Dear Rothy’s Shoes
Rothy’s Shoes are all over Instagram. They look cute, the are made from water bottles and it says they are comfortable like sneakers. I’ve been wearing flip flops and sandals all Summer so they interest me. But at $145 a pair, I’m a lot less interested.
I look online to see if people who owned them love them. Buzzfeed has up a good article. People like them, but they had a survey and a lot of other people felt they were too expensive for a fabric shoe – even one that though Rothy’s are machine washable. (see here)
So C’mon Rothy’s – let’s do a back to school special for teachers!

August 9, 2017Dyker Heights Woman Stabbed to Death
Annemarie Vardy, a 52 year old woman was stabbed to death by Michael Dunne, a 42 year old man at 877 Bay Ridge Avenue (near Ninth Avenue) in Dyker Heights early this morning. If you can’t figure out where this is, it’s just a block away from the McKinley Library.
Vardy rented a room from Michael’s Dunne’s mother, 63 year old, Maria Maddalena for three years. Anniemarie lived in the building for many years before that, but had to give up her apartment after her father died and her mother moved into a nursing home. Vardy worked for the Department of Education and was well-liked by the children in the building, including the Dunne’s 19 year old daughter. She had tutored some of the children in the building. The Post reported that Dunne had recently moved out, but came back periodically.
This morning, when the police arrived, Annemarie Vardy was dead (The Post published a picture of the EMT leaving – why??) and the Michael Dunne was arrested outside of the building. They were not sure about the Dunne’s motive for stabbing Vardy repeatedly in the stomach. When the police went to the building, Dunne had locked himself in the apartment. Tonight, the news said Dunne was undergoing psychiatric tests. The police found found Dunne’s mother and daughter with blood on them and some thought they were victims as well. The Citizen X app showed this incorrect information:
The building is in Dyker Heights and Channel 1 News was the only media which identified the neighborhood correctly as Dyker Heights. Most news stations are calling it Bay Ridge because they see Bay Ridge Avenue as the address.
*RIP Annemarie Vardy* Prayers for her family and friends.
