Mailboxes Were Removed in Dyker Heights
Just as mailboxes were removed from the streets in Bay Ridge (see here) because they were compromised, some were removed in Dyker Heights as well:
75th Street and 13th Avenue
79th Street and 11th Avenue
75th Street and 12th Avenue was removed in May
The mailbox on 83rd Street and 11th Avenue was removed last year, but people complained to the Post Office manager because seniors can’t walk too far and they returned the mailbox.
Dyker Heights had corner garbage cans removed because people were putting bags of household garbage in them. Now thieves are stealing mail to wash checks and residents lost their mailboxes.

Susan Zhuang Was Interviewed By Arthur Chi-en
Reporter Arthur Chi-en had an informative interview with Councilwoman Susan Zhuang.
One of the things the media doesn’t understand is the relationship Councilwoman Zhuang has with the community. Because Zhuang has been present in for the people, they know she is doing everything she can to represent them!
On the morning this incident happened, Zhuang went to the shelter knowing the developer did not have a permit to work at 5:00 am. She was going to have the job shut down, just like she had done several weeks before. (See here)
Even on Chinese New Year, this construction company was working because they thought the politicians were celebrating. Zhuang left her family and went to the shelter to have them shut down.
Councilwoman Zhuang shared in the interview with Arthur Chi-en that she worried about the elderly woman who was protesting and fell on the ground under the barricade. Zhuang wanted to make sure the woman was okay because she considered the woman like her own grandmother. Remember this community has been working with Zhuang for months and they know each other.
We were surprised the police didn’t take more care with the senior, especially when she was on ground. Did they even see her? It was early in the morning, so these officers may have been at the end of their shift.
I think Councilwoman Zhuang must have been so taken back by the police officer responses because most of us know police officers in Brooklyn, who will help and go above and beyond like these officers:
What's she talking about the community turning against the NYPD? Their relationship looks fine. pic.twitter.com/qis0qM93jp

Can Mayor Adams Hear This Asian Community in Brooklyn?
Photo: Steve Chan
Every day, Brooklynites have gathered to show their disapproval of a shelter being built on 86th Street and 25th Avenue.
Why the majority of protesters are Asian, not all of them are Asian:
More neighbors join the protest every day for obvious reasons as stated on their posters. Credits should be given to all the organizers and participants including @susanzhuangnyc @AMWilliamColton @AMLesterChangNY @Iwen4NY who chose to stand with and represent their constituents. pic.twitter.com/AWF8bz52ln

Donations of food are being sent to support the protesters:
They protesters were fired up today:
And this was two nights ago:
The protesters have signs up asking Brooklynites to honk and drivers gladly respond to show their support.
Today, Lester Chang shared this picture:
Assemblyman Chang also shared this information: There are two tents set up and they are getting everyone registered to vote.
What that means: If Eric Adams can’t hear them, they will vote together for someone who will make their community safe. The Mayor has a lot of good women on his staff, so hopefully they will have good news for this community soon because those running against the mayor are far left liberals.
Why can’t the mayor make this shelter for families? I think many of them people in Gravesend would feel more at ease if the shelter wasn’t for 150 men. They heard about all the problems at the shelter at 47 Hall Street in Clinton Hill and must be afraid/worried. (Info)
On Sunday, they are having a rally:

Happy Hour for Gounardes for Free Childcare?!
Politicians love to send out flyers to the community boasting about what they did.
Last September, Andrew Gounardes sent out a flyer saying that the MTA was giving 8 minute service. (See Below) The MTA gave some trains 8 minute service, but not in Bay Ridge. Gounardes never checked the train service before sending the flyer to the whole community!
Andrew Gounardes probably thought most of you wouldn’t read the flyer since it was September and you were busy!.
Some people did and they called him out. Gounardes said the truth online, but never corrected the mistake in a mailer. (See here)
This year, Andrew Gounardes’ mailer failed to mention that PS 185’s and other public schools in our area were cut by NYS funding. Parents are only finding out now. (Here)
If parents knew, they would have gone to other politicians to ask for help. PS 185 is Councilman Justin Brannan’s alma mater, so surely he would have helped. Brannan had a lot of money because he used it to pay for Summer days at many parks across the district. (See here)
Children who attended afterschool programs at PS 185 for free last year will not be able to attend this year because parents will have to pay $3,300 per child ($6,600 for two children!) Many schools in our area still have free afterschool programs, so why were some removed?
Next week, a group with a Manhattan is hailing Gounardes with a Happy Hour because they want free childcare. The organization doesn’t seem to care that childcare and tutoring were taken away from some families in Bay Ridge.
Why is our community paying such high property taxes, if afterschool programs at some schools in our area were defunded at the state level?

More Mailboxes Removed From Bay Ridge
Like garbage cans, mailboxes are quietly being removed and no one is letting the community know that they were removed or WHY they were removed.
Usually, when they remove a mailbox, they replace it with the type that makes it harder for thieves to steal mail.
Now USPS is removing mailboxes in our area when there is too much mail theft.
Some people in Bay Ridge are on vacation and are coming home to missing mailboxes!
So far the following mailboxes have been removed:
92nd Street and 3rd Avenue
92nd Street and Colonial
8901 Shore Road
80th Street and Harborview
Bay Ridge Avenue and Narrows and Colonial
69th Street – Shore and Colonial
Mailboxes in Dyker Heights have also been removed. (See here) They were able to get one mailbox returned.

Philip Guarino Died Two Years Ago – Still No Answers From the 68th Precinct
Two years ago today, Philip Guarino’s body was brought on a handtruck to the back of a driveway at a house on 72nd Street in Dyker Heights. (Photos)
NY Post
Guarino had been missing from Howard Beach, Queens. His car was found in another section of Queens.
From PIX News Video here
The homeowner found Guarino the next morning and called the police. Phil Guarino was only 28-years-old.
The Medical Examiner was not able to determine the cause of death. This was not a drug overdose. Phil’s hyoid bone was broken. (Source)
From PIX News Video here
The 68th Precinct said they needed time and for Phil Guarino’s mother to be patient. (Source: Video) Two years later, the case still remains unsolved.
The police never asked the public for help. They never showed any photos of the suspect either.
RIP Phil Guarino.

Bay Ridge Animal Lovers Take Care of Zorro
Zorro is a dog owned by an elderly woman in our area. Some kind neighbors noticed Zorro needed help. He had a tumor on his side that needs to be removed and biopsied. Zorro also needed to be groomed and have his teeth cleaned.
They started a Go Fund Me and the community responded here.
Mary-Alexis and Lisa took Zorro to Healthy Pets. for vaccines, bloodwork and a pre-op exam! Surgery will be scheduled soon!
Dr. Briones at Healthy Pets for donated his services. Healthy Pets at 7606 3rd Avenue.
A dog grooming business, Bring Your Own Pet Grooming (see here) offered to groom Zorro for free!
Thank you Mary-Alexis and Lisa for noticing Zorro needed help and taking action….most people wouldn’t take someone else’s dog to the vet. And then they got other people involved so that Zorro gets what he needs…simply amazing!
Thank you to all the kind people who chipped in to help Zoro. And finally, thank you to Dr. Briones and Bring Your Own Pet for helping Zorro!

Brooklynite Tracked Their Car And the 61st Precinct Police Went and Got It Back!
This morning, the 61st Precinct Police, whose station is at 2575 Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn, shared that a car was stolen overnight and the owner tracked the location of the car.
With the help of the Shomrim, they were able to apprehend the suspects and get the car back.
The Apple Airtag is $23 on Amazon.
Some cars, like the Honda, have their own apps that help you locate them (in case you forgot where you parked). New car owners have to set up the HondaLink in order for it to work.
