January 16, 2017Bay Ridge March Against Hate – January 16th
I don’t know if they are marching against xenophobes or if they are marching against Trump as some of the signs seem to show hatred towards Trump….which is also okay.

January 15, 2017If you find decorated rocks in Bay Ridge…
I keep seeing decorated rocks around Bay Ridge. I saw one on a crossing light while I was on my way to work the other day. I didn’t pick it up because it looked like they may have been placed in the spot for as part of a scavenger hunt or something like that.
I did a search for Bay Ridge rocks and sure enough kids and adults are painting rocks for other people to find. So if you find a rock, you post a picture of it here to let the person know you found it. Just a way people are brightening other people’s lives.

January 14, 2017The Lutheran Church is Doing Outreach Bay Ridge
This is the only outreach this church does, but it’s at least something, right?
Sad that it has to have the tone of hate.
I think it’s nice that someone’s organizing an event with various cultures. Our Saviors Lutheran Church is holding the We Are Bay Ridge even on Saturday, January 28th. 414 80th Street – the school and gym are behind the church (seen below).
How come the Lutheran Church hasn’t done this before?
At the bottom of the flyer are two organizations names – Our Saviors Lutheran Church and the Salam Arabic Lutheran Church – it’s apparently the same building, but they are separate congregations. This is Our Saviors FB Page and this is Salam Arabic Lutheran Church which also has it’s own website. Why can’t they just be one Lutheran Church? Churches have been having bilingual masses and services in other languages for years. It’s strange because if a religious organization can’t be united, how can it’s people? Even weirder is that the Salam Arabic Church has a survey on their site in English asking people what language they speak. If they can’t read English, how can they do the survey? Wouldn’t they need the survey to be in all of those languages or at least provide a toggle language button if they were to accurately survey a non-English speaking community? Maybe the leaders from the two groups should have dinner together and pull their communities together.
A lot of events are run in Bay Ridge and there is always a contact name and number, yet no one from the church puts his/her name on the event. Maybe they are unfamiliar with running events, but people always have questions.
I’m sure the event organizers thought calling the event ‘We Are Bay Ridge’ and inviting people to wear ethnic clothes felt right. Why does it sound so forced? Hopefully, everyone running it is just filled with good intentions and inexperienced at writing a flyer.

January 13, 2017How Long Before Nicole Malliotakis and Senator Golden Pose in Front of the Verrazano?
Cuomo talks about low fares for Staten Islanders. How long will it be before Malliotakis and Golden run to the entrance of the bridge and pretend they are doing something for Bay Ridge? We’ve seen it year after year and nothing happens!
