A lot of people were glad to be out enjoying the feast last night – 18th Avenue was SO packed. Many people came back to visit and reminisce with their old friends.
People loved seeing Angelo Venuto and his family. They were singing and dancing in the street. (See video here)
Several stands are marked at Lucy’s. They aren’t Lucy Spano’s – hers is on 70th Street and 18th Avenue. The sandwiches there are $12 (the other places are $15).
Friday night, August 23rd – it will be packed again!

Revenge in Sunset Park – Near OLPH Church
Woooooooo someone was cheating in Sunset Park and someone with a broken heart took revenge.
The car is parked in front of OLPH Church on 5th Avenue between 59th and 60th Street, so everyone knows! Brutal!
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially a Sunset Park woman, who call you out in front of the basilica (the center of the community).

Where’s the Traffic Study for the 86th Street School That CM. Brannan Promised Bay Ridge?
School is opening in a few weeks. Yet, Councilman Brannan hasn’t provided Bay Ridge with the traffic study for 86th Street and 7th Avenue.
Councilman Brannan likes to make a lot of graphics like these, but will he keep his word to the community?
For the past few weeks, parents have been expressing concerns about traffic near this school and the new school on 3rd Avenue, but the politicians are not answering their concerns.
Traffic maps from Spectrum News and Channel 7 News show the traffic in that area. (See here or here)
NYC’s Crashmap shows that the area has problems. (See here) You can see previous years by pulling down the year on the right.
Councilman Brannan likes to add new schools, but he doesn’t work collaboratively with the community in setting up the school, so the school doesn’t have what families want. (See here) Schools are stronger when parents have input.
Councilman Brannan didn’t answer Community Board 10’s questions about safety at the new high school. There are already three schools on that street! CB 10 voted against the high school for that reason. Councilman Brannan overrode the Community Board. (Info) Brannan will be out of office when the high school is built.
In June, NYS defunded afterschool program at some schools in our area, without any reason. (Info) Senator Andrew Gounardes has not been able to explain where the funding went and restore it. How will afterschool be funded at the new schools, where there isn’t enough funding for existing schools?

Why is a Park Renovated in 2016 Nicer Than Bay Ridge Parks that Were Renovated in 2024?
Families depend on parks for relaxation and entertainment. When a park gets a makeover, it is closed for almost a year and families expect to see an amazing park – like Gravesend Park on 18th Avenue and 59th Street.
There are five jungle gyms at Gravesend Park – each with a different theme.
The park is fully enclosed and has a music area with several xylophones.
In 2016, $5.4 million was spent on Gravesend Park renovations. (Source)
In 2024, $5.4 million was spent on J.J. Carty Park, but the park looks like many others that were recently renovated. The jungle gyms look like a kit, just in different colors. (Source)
(See larger)
In 2020, Justin Brannan and NYC Parks held a meeting for Owls Head Parks renovations.
Children asked for:
1) Monkey bars
2) A bridge attached to a boat (like a pirate ship) and a water area with sand
3) Big kids swings (NYC Parks said they need 30 feet high to install this so it may not be part of the design)
4) A strawberry to climb in
5) Longer slides
