Is The Billiards Lot Becoming a Grocery Store?
During the Community Board 10 Meeting tonight, a resident near Ovington Avenue said that a grocery store was coming to that area and she was concerned about the traffic from the new grocery story and the new high school being planned down the block.
The billiards building was removed.
This was what was said at CB 10 Meeting on Monday Night starting at 23:06 (See video)
00:23:06 I’m not in support of
00:23:08 the supermarket that is also going to
00:23:10 take place on the corner of Ovington and
00:23:13 Fifth Avenue on Ovington we have an
00:23:15 immense amount of traffic if the BQE
00:23:18 gets backed up we hear about it.
00:23:21 This compromises our quality of
00:23:24 life because you’re hearing beeping
00:23:26 horns throughout the evening and
00:23:28 throughout the day
Is the old Hall of Fame Billiards turning into a grocery store? LOOK:
00:24:20 Are you referring to the the the
00:24:23 building where the Billiards used to be?
00:24:26 Okay that that location I wasn’t aware

00:24:29 proposals for that. It’s had some

November 20, 2023Five-Year-Old Boy Hit By Vehicle -Bay Ridge Pkwy
A parent shared this photo.
A five year old child was hit by a vehicle this morning at Bay Ridge Parkway and 4th Avenue. (Info)
The child was walking to school with his mother when they were hit. Fortunately, they both were able to get up and walk to the ambulance.
This corner is curved or angled and that may be the problem.
There is no mention of this on any politician’s social media accounts. Also no mention of this at the Community Board 10 Meeting that was held tonight.

November 19, 2023Layo Centeno – The Sunset Park Legend
On the corner of 51st Street and 3rd Avenue in Sunset Park is a mural of Layo Centeno.
Layo had a restaurant named Layo Restaurant on 3rd Avenue and 52nd Street. Later he moved to 51st Street.
Layo was legend in Sunset Park because he cared for everyone. He died in 2009, but many people still talk about him and his great food. People were obsessed with his pernil sandwiches – very low cost and big.
I remember around the holidays so many people would go to Layo Restaurant to get pastels.
Layo’s son moved back to Puerto Rico.
