Happy Birthday Coney Island Boardwalk

I’m sure today will be a day that politicians use the Boardwalk to take some selfies and load our papers with press releases. But the reality is that it is probably too late for Coney Island.  See more about the Real Estate Super Pac and Mark Treyger here.  

Yes, I am pretty sure they do!

Pam Harris Opens Bay Ridge Office – 6 Months after Election

Pam Harris finally opened an office in Bay Ridge yesterday. It’s  six months after we elected her (and 8 month after she told the King Country Politics blog she opened an office in Bay Ridge).  The problem with this is that we paid the rent for a closed office all these months.   See my story from 2 weeks ago
I know she saw my blog because she FINALLY shared e-mail address. See here

I’m waiting for her to respond to me still. It’s been two weeks and no reply so far. I think she’s just too unmotivated to care about people’s concerns in Bay Ridge.

Dyker Heights History

When I saw the video, I smiled because I had a chance to get Angelo Bonsignore many years ago (before he was a movie creator). The video is very well done. Kudos to the historian, Christian Zaino as well.

BNE ~ Lamest Graffiti Artist in Bay Ridge

Today, wanna-be graffiti artists are so lame.  They print out stickers on their computer and stick them on street posts and run!   They don’t attempt to be creative and are so afraid of being caught by the cops.

I mean there is nothing to this sticker design either. The childish sticker uses a plain font, no color or background.  It wasn’t well-thought out at all. It must have taken him all of five seconds to slap it on the pole and run.  Live a little BNE.

Years ago, graffiti was an art form that filled the subway and street corner posts. Artists (and wanna-be’s) selectively chose their tag and how they would write it. Better artists added a little man or some cool symbol. Everyone in the area recognized the symbols that filled the neighborhood.

Graffiti was a way of putting a bit of yourself all over the place. A sticker on a lamp post is like a little kid printing sponge bob stickers on their computer and sticking them all over.

Bay Ridge Pooper

Bay Ridge has a lot of dogs and dogs lovers. We own two dogs.  Some people who own dogs let their dogs poop all over and are too lazy to pick up after their dog.

Here’s the Bay Ridge Dog Pooper. I knew it was a woman.  I don’t know why, but for some reason I kept thinking it was a woman while other predicted it was a teenage boy.

I think she realizes she is captured on camera!

But walks away and leaves some poor Bay Ridge residents with poo on their shoe.

So the Bay Ridge Pooper hit my house. I knew it was bound to happen because she has been hitting everyone around here. I don’t know her and her dog, but if you do,please leave a comment below (comments don’t publish). I’d like to talk to her and offer her some bags on a roll (seriously the things are super cheap and as small as a roll of quarters – she can put them in her pocket)

Plastic Bags and Councilman Gentile in Bay Ridge

The Daily News also quoted Gentile here:

Personally, I think the bill should have excluded paper bags. We could have gotten rid of plastic bags all together – the way we got rid of styrofoam!   I also think the revenue collected should have gone to something for our environment, rather than to the grocery store owners. Politicians and store owners who don’t like the bill can give out reusable bags with their name on it. This morning, the Greenmarket opened on 95th Street and 3rd Avenue. and Gentile was there cheering everyone on during a gloomy morning. Check out pics on his Instagram.

You can also hear Gentile on John Cats talk show here.
