Gounardes Says the R Train is Faster, Without Checking to See If It is Faster!
The MTA announced shorter wait times for the N and R train during the day on Tuesday, August 22nd. (Source)
Senator Andrew Gounardes send these large, full color postcards saying he delivered a faster train.
This isn’t true – the train is not faster in Bay Ridge. Many from Bay Ridge started sharing times online.
Years ago, Gounardes used the train, so it should not come as a surprise when people send him photos from the station.
Gounardes and Brannan did not respond to the people (and the people were polite) (Example here)
Why didn’t Senator Gounades go check if the train was faster before printing and sending out the cards? That must have cost thousands of our tax dollars to do!
People noticed that the trains were spaced out in the morning. Meaning: less service!
The only winner seems to be the company printing the large post cards!
Anyone know if this a Bay Ridge company?!

Poly Place – Brannan and Gounardes Told Us This Would Be Cleared in June 2022 – Now It’s Worse!
On June 6, 2022, Councilman Brannan and Senator Gounardes held a meeting and told the community that the trucks on Poly Place would be moved. (Info)
At prior commanding officer from the 68th Precinct said he was going to change the parking and that would stop these trucks from stopping here. But nothing was done!
Once in awhile, the NYPD would tow a few trucks and post a picture. Then Justin Brannan would share the picture on social media and pretend that the job was done.
Now a year later, the area is much worse. Some vehicles aren’t even parking in the correct direction.
Drivers aren’t sleeping in their trucks, as some people said.
This hitch is just parked – without a truck.
We need new leaders – people who care about maintaining the area and not playing on social media.
The men we have in office have shown that they are not able to get this job done.
Maybe each guy thinks the other is doing the work, so that’s why neither does it. But in November we get to vote for a new Council representative.
This builder left his truck with supplies. He knows no one is going to ticket them or take their supplies.
We need new leaders who see the problem and can get the job done!

I smiled when I saw artist, Samuel Sjaastad’s recent paintings.
Samuel also painted “Little Jimmy.” James Mastrangelo lived in Bay Ridge and brought smiles to people in Brooklyn for years. (News)
During the Summer, Samuel had an art show with his paintings of “Bars of Bay Ridge.” Fantastic work! (See here)

The Vitamin Shoppe Opened on 86th Street
The Vitamin Shoppe opened at 480 – 86th Street. For all the OG’s, this is where Nothing Fits used to be.
Time for Salad opened here in 2020-2021, but there wasn’t enough foot traffic for it to stay open.
The Vitamin Shoppe is small, but they have a good amount of items and the customer service was great!
The next store is Snipes Sneaker store – it’s very popular, so that corner is coming alive again!

Hawaii Poke One on 86th Street in Bay Ridge
Hawaii Poke Shop opened at 565 – 86th Street. The hot green was a good choice for this corner spot!
A lot of Poke shops opened in Bay Ridge in the last year. People like being able to get a salad fast. A lot of teens like to visit these shops for lunch.
A woman’s clothing store was in this location last year, but there was not enough foot traffic for the place to stay open. The Hawaii Poke Shop was busy!
This shop is also on the delivery apps – see here.

Three People on One Scooter in Brooklyn
When I see several people riding on a scooter, I am so worried they are going to fall off or into a car.
How are three people allowed to ride a scooter? I don’t understand how NYC Council allowed scooters without putting rules for people to follow.
Did you think they waited for the green light?
Nope. They stopped and edged up and then they went through.
