Brooklyn Politicians Reach Across The Table
A few days ago, the Southern Democrats held a New Year’s celebration at The Bay Ridge Manor. They shared pictures of everyone have a good time and dancing on private social media accounts.
While I scrolled through the photos, I saw the head of the Kings Country Republicans, Richie Barsamian, sitting at a table in the photos. I wondered if they invited him or if he went incognito and they didn’t know.
Today, the photo above was shared on X (formerly Twitter) and people were talking about it. So I asked Barsamian about it!
In the Fall, Ted Ghorra quietly stepped down and Richard Barsamian became the GOP Party Leader. Barsamian’s leadership is different from Ghorra’s in that he reached out to Democrats and even invited them to the Republican’s holiday party.
The Democrats invited Barsamian to their party in return.
There’s no drama between Ghorra and Barsamian either because the two were photographed together at the Republican Christmas Party at The Bay Ridge Manor in December.
While this wasn’t a juicy story of a Republican Party Boss sneaking into a Democrat’s event, maybe this was a turning point in politics, where people work together and help build Brooklyn!
Update: Republicans aren’t buying it. This reminded them of “Michael Grimm’s nonsense” from years ago. They did not want to see the Republican Party Boss partying with Progressive Democrats. Republicans told me that they don’t work with radicals – they seek to defeat them in elections.

Johnny’s Pizzeria is Closing on January 24th
If you lived in Sunset Park years ago, you either loved Johnny’s or Scotti’s Pizzeria.
Today, Johnny’s Pizzeria announced they were closing on January 24, 2024 after being in business for 56 years! Everyone who lived around OLPH has great memories of eating pizza from Johnny’s with their friends.
Stop in and enjoy your last slice from one of the best pizzerias in Brooklyn! They also deliver to Bay Ridge 718-492-9735 (yes they make the heart-shaped pizza too!)
Dear Valued Customers and Patrons of Johnny’s Pizzeria,

We are writing to inform you all that the time has come for Johnny’s Pizzeria to close its doors after serving the Sunset Park Community daily since our father, John Miniaci Senior established this place of business in 1968.

Although this decision has not come easy for us, we would like to be sincere in telling you that it is the right decision, as we are set to begin our retirements. Therefore, our last day of business serving you all will be on Wednesday, January 24th 2024.

We would like to Thank the many lifelong friends who have become like family to us from the community. You have shown us kindness and loyalty over the almost 56 years that we have been in business. We would not have been able to be successful for so many years without your support and loyalty. It has truly been an honor to serve you all.

We would like to acknowledge the many years of hard work and dedication put forth by all our employees who we call Family. Your willingness to work alongside us and meet the expectations of our customers daily will never be forgotten or taken for granted. Without your help, we would not have been able to open the doors for so many years. We wish you and your families well as you may pursue new endeavors in your lives.

As we move forward, it is our hope that God will Bless the Sunset Park Community with peace, health and prosperity. We will hold all the memories which we have made together close within our hearts.

Sincerely,

John, Louie, Rocco and Families @louisminiaci @mustangride1
Good luck to John and his staff! Happy Retirement! Thanks for the great pizza and good memories!
You will be missed!

CB 18 Voted Unanimously Against The City of Yes
Community Board 18 held their ‘City of Yes Vote’ tonight! CB 18 represents the neighborhoods of Bergen Beach, Canarsie, Flatlands, Georgetown, Marine Park, Mill Basin, Mill Island and Paerdegat Basin.
A friend shared a link to their meeting. They were a spirited group of Brooklynites and fun to watch! (Frank Seddio is a member of this board.)
Community Board 18 unanimously voted against the City of Yes!
Things they spoke about that Community Board 10 and our politicians have not said:
1) The City of Yes is about deregulating housing.
2) If residential property is turned into commercial property, then the property taxes for that property will be even higher. Remember, in other parts of Brooklyn, the property taxes are considerably lower.
3) Community Board 18 mentioned the large turnout in Bay Ridge! They spoke about communities not wanting The City of Yes. Then they spoke about who was pushing this project.
One speaker said that the head of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce worked on the City of Yes Plan. Then I looked it up and Randy is pushing for it:
This is very strange as The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce has not been helpful to businesses in Bay Ridge! There are empty stores all over our neighborhood, why hasn’t the Chamber of Commerce helped small business owners secure these storefronts?
The presidents of all of NYC’s Chambers of Commerce thought it was appropriate for all of them to go to Somos in 2022. NYC should do away with this position!
4) Community Board 18 talked about the importance of voting down each measure.
A lot has happened to NYC in the last three years. The Mayor, politicians like Andrew Gounardes who are pushing the City of Yes don’t realize that NY’ers have had enough. What good things are happening here for middle class NY’ers who are being overtaxed?
