Townhouse 275 on 94th Street is Closing
The speakeasy on 94th Street off 3rd Avenue is closing on January 1st.
Ridgites love Tim, the bartender at this cocktail bar.
During the Fall, Townhouse 275 was hosting a few groups – a book club, a chess group and a special group. But I guess it wasn’t enough to pay the bills and make a profit.
One of the biggest problems for this place was that a lot of people don’t know this place exists in Bay Ridge.

Brannan is only in office for one more year (actually 54 weeks left), so there was no reason to waste money on a hand-painted sign.

December 19, 2024Ride the Rolling Homeless Shelter R Train in Bay Ridge or Pay Congestion Pricing
This man is wearing a garbage bag because he is cold. He isn’t asking for help because he isn’t well.
The families of these people have no idea they are riding on the train.
Every day the R train rolls into 95th Street and no one helps these people.
Andrew Gounardes and Justin Brannan love to campaign at train stations, but they don’t want to help any of these people.
The people aren’t hiding. This man was laying on the steps at the 95th Street station and no came to assist him.
This has been going on for years.
We have the wrong people in government – they dance for lobbyists. These people have no lobbyists, but need the most help.

December 19, 2024Julio Pena – Why Did Senator Andrew Gounardes and Tori Burhans Give Him $500?
Julio Pena is a district leader in Brooklyn. He and Jacqui Painter try to push candidates like Chris McCreight and Iwen Chu in our community.
Julio doesn’t live in Bay Ridge or Dyker Heights and doesn’t know what is going on here.
I can’t figure out why Andrew Gounardes donated $500.00 to District Leader, Julio Pena’s account.
Former District Leader, Tori Burhans (She was Tori Kelly as well) also gave $500.00 to him in the Spring. Tori was supposed to run for District Leader again, but she got booted from the ballot. (Info)
Also strange are some of these large donations:

Now the 26-year-old will be spending Christmas and New Years at the Metropolitan Detention Center on 29th Street and 3rd Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. This is the same location that P. Diddy is being held.

December 19, 2024Andrew Gounardes Played Politics on Social Media, Rather Than Getting the Bill Passed
Gounardes talks a good game:
Andrew Gounardes chose another politician, who plays online, so she didn’t even get the bill out of Committee to be voted on in the NYS Assembly (See the bill here)
Why did Andrew Gounardes bring up a bill that he didn’t get passed? Because Gounardes wanted to tweet with his cronies against Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo is thinking of running for mayor. Gounardes’ friend Brad Lander is running for mayor.
