Panda Sneaker Cleaning Shop in Sunset Park
Panda Sneaker Cleaning Shop is at 509 – 59th Street. It’s across the street from OLPH Church (close to the pharmacy on 5th Avenue.)
I had no idea that this type of shop existed in the area. They were able to restore a pair of sneakers to look like new!
They will even pick up shoes if you are in 1.5 miles and have at least two pairs to clean.

Smaller Garbage Cans on Street Corners
Smaller garbage cans are appearing on some corners of 3rd Avenue. Who thought this was a good idea?
Old garbage can fills us fast. Larger cans were needed.
On the new can, the side opens and the can comes out. Those hinges are going to rust and the doors will be left open. It’s not better.
There is a large sized can that many parts of NYC got and that would be better for 3rd Avenue, where there is pedestrian garbage and also household garbage because some apartments have strict rules about when garbage can be put out.

What It Looks Like When Your Council Representative Works For the Community:
Councilman Robert Holden from Masbeth, Queens shared that he had a commercial truck removed from a residential street.
For one truck, Holden raised his voice and it was removed!
In June 2022, Andrew Gounardes and Justin Brannan told us they were going to clear the trailers and commercial trucks on Poly Place…..and now it is even worse. (See here)
These men don’t follow through and keep their word. The 68th Precinct Captain told us the parking was going to be changed in that area…yet nothing was done.

Hope Count NYC – 2024
Every year, NYC pretends it does not know how many people are homeless, so they count the homeless one night every January. Spectrum News said they will not have the results of this count until this Summer.
In 2022, the Hope Count showed there were about 4,000 people that were homeless and not being housed anywhere in NYC.
Yet, Catholic Charities shared this month that there are 92, 824 homeless people in NYC. Many are being housed in non-permanent shelters.
NYC asked people to volunteer “to count” the homeless. The volunteers don’t bring the people food or a hot coffee, they are just there to count them.
The worst part, they design t-shirts and other gear (jackets and coats) with the logo for the Hope Count.
There is a new woman in charge of the event and she told people on Channel 1 News that they will get a free t-shirt. There was also the Hope Count string bag:
Oh and the Hope beanie:
This office considers this even to be like a concert, where participants get free merch.
Don’t worry NYC didn’t go cheap on these – double-sided printing!
Every year, this count happens, but no one does anything about the people living on the R Train.
Senator Gounardes and Councilman Brannan refuse to help these people, even though their situation has become a lot worse.
We need new leadership – people who care enough to help those who aren’t well.
Look at how old this tweet is about the Hope Count. Doing the same thing over and over each year isn’t helping the homeless in NYC.
