If You Smell Plastic in Bay Ridge Today…Stop & Store on 63rd Street Had a Fire
If you smell fire in Bay Ridge today, it is because there was a 3 Alarm fire at the Stop and Stor storage place on 63rd Street between 5th & 6th Avenue in Sunset Park.
The storage place had 300 e-bikes and e-scooters in two storage unit.
Channel 2 News
Three ebikes burst into flames and Channel 1 News said the sprinkler system in the storage unit was not made to put out an electrical fire.
Why are e-bikes/scooters allowed to be stored in a public storage facility when we know how dangerous they batteries are. One firefighter had to be sent to the hospital. One hundred and forty firefighters were present and it took hours to put out the fire.
Fourteen people are dead from e-bikes that went on fire and not one person in NYC has taken immediate action to stop the fifteen person from dying!

Ralph Schiano Street Renaming in Bay Ridge
Today, residents saw that 3rd Avenue and 92nd Street had podiums and the street was closed for a street renaming.
The street was named for Ralph Schiano, former owner of Marine Market. Marine Market opened in 1938. Ralph Schiano died in 2017.
Ralph was a successful small business owner and his shop was liked by everyone in Bay Ridge. One Ridgite said that George was called “the mayor of 3rd Avenue” back in the day.
I wasn’t able to find a photo of either Schiano or Marine Market, so maybe someone will share one. Also this event was not shared with the community.
George shared a video of the event here.

Two Men Shot on Ft. Hamilton & 60th Street
There was a shooting last night around 2:00 am on 60th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway in Borough Park, Brooklyn near a popular karaoke place. (See Citizen here and more Citizen video with the NYPD here)
The news shared that two men in their late 20’s were shot in the leg. (See here) Seven shell casings were found – there were no arrests.
A video was shared online where a group of people were fighting across the street from the businesses. POP POP POP could be heard over and over and people screaming. (That video was removed). Another copy was put up here.
Now there is a new video with the police and people running around. (See here)
It’s shocking to see this quiet street involved in a shoot out.

In some videos, the people sat down on the street.
At this point, we should have seen local Palestinian leaders stepping up. But there were none.
Who has the respect and authority to speak with the protesters? There has to be someone here who is laying low. There are many organizations who could have invited the protesters to have some soup and bread for dinner.
The police were determined to keep the protesters away from the BQE because at the last rally, they entered the highway and held up traffic.
Some people were put into the white police bus to be arrested/detained because they would not get out of the street.
