Two Bad Accidents – Belt Pkwy and Bridge

People are driving crazily today!
There were two bad accidents today – one on the Belt Parkway and the other on the Verrazzano Bridge. Prayers for the people involved.
1) Around 4:30 pm, there was a five car accident on Belt Parkway yesterday east bound.
(Around noon, there was an accident futher out on the Belt – see video)
2) Right before 9:00 pm, there was a serious accident on the Verrazzano Bridge with an overturned vehicle. The two lanes on the lower level of the bridge were closed. BRAVO volunteer ambulance from our area responded and shared this photo and information:

“Bravo’s crew was on hand tonight to respond to a multi-vehicle Motor Vehicle Collision involving an overturned vehicle on the lower level of the Verrazzano Bridge. BRAVO and ambulances from NYU Langone-Brooklyn and Staten Island University Hospital transported 5 patients to area hospitals. While tending to these patients, a separate accident occurred on the opposite side of the roadway resulting in three addition patients.”
ANOTHER ACCIDENT:
Ridgites shared that a man was hit near the entrance of the bridge. He was laying in the crosswalk. An ambulance came fast and the man talked to the medics as they placed him in an ambulance.

This storefront location has not had a lot of luck. I think someone needs to put some blessings and holy water on this location. Most recently this storefront was Spice Szechuan, Asian cuisine.

Before that this location was:
1) Brooklyn Bay Seafood –

2) Ginny’s 45 to $9 Restaurant – Nice lady

3) Mama’s Greek Restaurant

4) Pashazade Turkish Restaurant

5) Water Grill

6) Barracuda (Seafood restaurant) — I remember it being there.

November 26, 2024Bunch of Pigeons…Not What It Looked Like

Snap.
I thought I had captured the most beautiful sun on the 68th Street Pier. When I got home and looked at the picture, it looked nothing like the pigeon mess above.
The pier had a glorious sun like Beautiful Bay Ridge captured (here). Follow their instagram because I only have ugly pigeons for you today. (Beautiful Bay Ridge Insta)

November 25, 2024Thanksgiving Flowers at Ben’s Florist – Bay Ridge

Ben’s Florist at 9518 – 4th Avenue (across the street from St. Pat’s) has some nice flowers for Thanksgiving. The Fall colors and the different textures make this bouquet unique.

These are bright and sunny, but they don’t have Thanksgiving vibes.

They are tall and pretty – good for a table where a lot of people will be talking.

These plants are nice because they last long after Thanksgiving.
