February 9, 2024Fontbonne High School Offered To Be A Middle School For Visitation’s Students
Mr. Rocco Gentile, principal of Fontbonne Hall Academy invited students in grades 6th – 8th grade at Visitation to Fontbonne.
This would allow girls who have been together for years complete middle school together.
Bay Ridge residents thought that St. Pats or Bay Ridge Catholic should take the girls from Visitation. Both of those elementary schools are co-ed, so their parents probably would prefer the all-girls school.

February 8, 2024Coney Island Leaders Call Out the Casino Developers – Go Mathylde Frontus!
‘
Glad to see real leaders in Coney Island standing up for Coney Island – this is there home!
Former Assemblymember, Mathylde Frontus and others are calling out this project because it will just benefit the developers and not the people in Coney Island.
The developers are advertising jobs. People in Coney Island don’t want to be card dealers and servers for gamblers at the casino.
I will be surprised if Mayor Adams chooses to put a casino in Coney Island. When Adams was the Brooklyn Borough Presidents, he always had a New Years Celebration for the people in Coney Island. A casino will hurt this area of Brooklyn.
Councilman Justin Brannan has been lobbied over the casino. (See here).
Councilman Brannan held his inauguration in Coney Island and invited Robert Cornegy Jr., the man who has been pushing the casino. (Seen here) How disrespectful can you be to the people in Coney Island?

February 8, 2024Organic Icorp On 18th Avenue Was Shut Down
Organic Icorp at 6902 – 18th Avenue was shut down. The sign says the establishment was closed for operating illegally.
The real question is will they be able to keep this store closed?
Several stores in the area were closed and opened right back up.
Stores at these locations were closed and reopened: 18 Avenue and 86 Street, 13th Avenue and 78th Street and 18th Avenue and 85th Street. Senator Andrew Gounardes votes for the legislation that allowed these shops. He should be working to close them. Instead he is posting pictures and playing on X (formerly Twitter).
