3rd Avenue Merchants Scarecrow Contest
The 3rd Avenue Merchants did something new this year! Fourty-four business owners received brooms and they turned the brooms into scarecrows to display on the avenue.
People can then vote on the scarecrow that they like the best. (See here)

The suspect got on a southbound R train towards 95th Street in Bay Ridge.
Nedal Kifayeh was taken to the hospital. “Nedal had emergency surgery – his orbital was damaged, his optic nerve was severed and his vision was possibly gone for good.” (Source)
Not one Bay Ridge politician gave the community a heads up. Many people leave early for work and should have been made aware of the attack, especially since the man has not been caught.
