Why is Assemblywoman Pam Harris’ Grant Workshop During Work Hours and in Coney Island?
Bay Ridge Assemblywoman, Pam Harris is having a workshop to show people how to apply for a grant from the Citizens Committee for NYC. Harris represents part of Bay Ridge down to Coney Island, yet the workshop is in Coney Island on Thursday while most people are working. Info here
Harris shouldn’t question why she didn’t win Bay Ridge, when she is just doing things in Coney Island.
Does Harris think that only senior citizens, retired or unemployed residents are interested in a grant to help their community? Anyone can apply for the grant by filling out the application here: http://www.citizensnyc.org/grants/neighborhood-grants
Someone couldn’t even go during their lunch break as it is a 2 hour workshop.

January 8, 2017Baya Bowls – Bay Ridge
Copa Cabana from Baya Bowls
Baya Bowls opened on 94th and 3rd Avenue (across the street from Walgreens Pharmacy). It’s a great shop with a nice owner. You can call your orders in 718- 213-4702 too. I think this store is going to do well in Bay Ridge. They also serve kale drinks, smoothies and other juices.

January 7, 2017When Retro is Just the Junk Your Mom Threw Away Years Ago
I remember a relative in Long Island having a similar table to this. I also distinctly remember them getting rid of it to buy a nicer table. When we see people selling the ‘retro’ table for $200, retro really is just synonymous with “old junk.”

January 6, 2017Bob Capano and a Strange Podcast
Bob Capano is someone who hasn’t lived in Bay Ridge for years, yet he’s trying to run for office here. I don’t know if the Staten Island GOP said they wouldn’t support him or if he thinks there are no other Brooklyn GOP politicians interested in running.
Yesterday he was on a podcast called VitoandVito.
I tune in to hear the podcast and it’s this low energy show where one Vito is talking a lot and the other is barely saying anything. Capano said what every other politician has said, “Respect the police, blah blah blah.” Nothing new at all – nothing pertaining to Bay Ridge because he hasn’t lived here in years. After the Vitos talked to Capano, the two Vito’s talked about a few unrelated topics and then they start talk talking about “Which celebrity will croak first this year?”
It was so strange. I went to see if all of their podcast are like this on their website and their domain expired.
I went back to the site where I listened to the podcast from and their are all small clips from random shows with their huge intro, but not a full podcast.
When I write about it on Twitter, one Vito responds:
This guy has a strange attitude. He needs to listen to his own show! A gentleman would have responded more politely as he didn’t know his site was down.
And one of the Vito’s is pushing Capano in Bay Ridge, even though he knows Capano hasn’t lived in Bay Ridge since he was in high school!
If you are talking about dead celebrities and predicting which ones will die on your podcast, invite Bob Capano on too!
