May 7, 2025Brooklynites Rally for a Guinea Pig
Someone dumped the guinea pig (pictured above) at the park at Bay 22nd Street. Guinea pigs can’t live in the park. The owner should have found a new home for the pet.
A kind Brooklynite saw the helpless pet and posted his picture and location. Christine S. went and got the guinea pig.
She was going to bring him to Sean Casey Animal Rescue, but Jennifer, M, another Brooklynite is adopting the guinea pig.
I don’t like guinea pigs, but this guy is cute. I’m glad their are kind people in Brooklyn, who will go out of their way to help a small animal.

May 7, 2025NYC is Giving Out Kitchen Compost Bins
Vicky Paladino, a NYC Councilwoman from Queens made a video announcing that NYC is giving away free countertop compost bins.
Palendino didn’t like the compost bins for composting, but if you want one call your council members office. Palendino said she had 150 of them, so every office must be getting the same amount shipped to them, as the mayor wanted to better educate the public about composting.
NYC showed this photo of the compost bin on a counter:
Lee has composted for years. He uses a ceramic compost bin with a good seal. It was $17.99 when I purchased it. Now they are selling them for $50.00. I have never emptied the compost bin. Lee empties the compost bin, so get yourself a Lee as well.

May 6, 2025RIP Fito – Sunset Park’s Peso Guy
I heard the sad news that Ruben Gonzalez died. In Sunset Park, we all knew him as the “Peso Guy.”
He used to sell stuff on 5th Avenue and 53rd Street (outside Rite Aide) for years, for a dollar and yell, “A peso!‘
May this sweet man rest in peace.

Rite Aid declared bankruptcy again. In June, they are closing all 178 stores in New York State.
The Rite Aid on 3rd Avenue and 73rd Street just spent a lot of money on shelving, so they must not have known this was going to happen.

May 4, 2025Andrew Gounardes Calls Transportation Alternatives Neighbors
Andrew Gounardes posted the photos below on Facebook, Instagram and X. He referred to the people in the photos as “neighbors.”
The woman in the back center with the black shirt and black and yellow shorts is Kathy Price, an employee of Transportation Alternatives.
Transalt Alt is a group that is against cars. The Transalt employee identified her photos better than Gounardes did:
She also mentioned that the actor, Peter Sarsgaard is at this meetup. Why did Andrew Gounardes leave him out?
Update: Peter Sarsguard is married to Maggie Dyllenhaal and their daughter was just arrested at the Columbia University protests.
I don’t know how many of these people are employees from Trans Alt. One woman is on her phone in most of the pics.
Watch the last video where Andrew Gounardes bites his nails and listens to them talk about them wanting more red light cameras:
Andrew Gounardes should have been transparent and named the group. Gounardes did not correct any of the social media because he doesn’t want Brooklyn neighbors to know who is pulling the strings.
When 48-year-old Aihong Qu was killed on 7th Avenue in Bay Ridge, Trans Alt didn’t do anything. They didn’t call for changes to the street or even hold a memorial. Andrew Gounardes and Justin Brannan were silent.
When Community Board 10 held a meeting about car sharing, CB 10 had only from one car-sharing company present -> Get Around Cars. When CB 10 members asked why there was only one company presenting, Senator Andrew Gounardes did not name his association with the group. Gounardes’ mother served on CB 10 at the time.
This year, Community Board 10 allowed Rose, an employee of Trans Alt to speak at the CB 10 meetings. The same woman did a walk with the Bay Ridge Environmental Group to talk about safety. When they got to Senator Street and 4th Avenue, Rose did not know the name of the woman who was killed on that Avenue – it just wasn’t important to her because she doesn’t live here. Info:
Bay Ridge, when you see plans for 4th Avenue – don’t be fooled by them because no one has made 4th Avenue greener in the last 15 years. We haven’t seen any environmental group even put plants along that avenue!
* Did Andrew Gounardes think joining a SuperPac with the Coney Island Casino to help Justin Brannan win an election was just Gounardes being with “his neighbors?” You can see Andrew’s money on line four here (the Casino is on the 2nd page – line 4):

The Adrienne on the line above Andrew’s name is Adrienne Adams.
