Istanbul Restaurant Robbed of Two Grand

Two weeks ago, Istanbul Restaurant was robbed on 5th Avenue and 80th Street was robbed. (Story here).
Again, not one politician mentioned it or spoke out for the restaurant. Why can’t they let people know, so the community can at least help by going there?
It’s like we don’t have any representatives in Bay Ridge who care that businesses are being robbed.
In the Fall, businesses were being robbed for weeks and then a Youtuber (Loudlabs) told people about the multiple robberies. (Info)
We have a lot of Twitter representatives. They sit around and tweet pictures and stories, but who is working for Bay Ridge?

What Happens in Other Communities When a Hate Crime Happens…..
Last month a hate crime happened in Bay Ridge and Brannan and Gounardes were silent – not one person mentioned the hate cirme. (Info here)
Politicians are supposed to let the community know what is happening.
This is what that looks like in other communities:

Let’s Make a Graphic About Nothing….Or Just How Bay Ridge Was Gerrymandered in 2022
Whoever made the above graphic should be fired. Why? Because Bay Ridge was severely gerrymandered.
The snakes long neck going down into Dyker Heights says there are snakes in NYC government.
For years, Brannan cried that Marty Golden gerrymandered the area. When Brannan had the chance to make a fair district, he didn’t draw a box. Brannan had the towers because there are more Democrats living there.
Look at the streets excluded and how power was taken away from our community!
The power doesn’t belong to a politician in charge of a chunk of Brooklyn – it belongs to residents living in the community.
‘
Vote out snakes who think gerrymandering your community is okay.
FYI, everything I learned about gerrymandering came from Brannan, Gounardes and McCreight before any were elected.

NYC Council Voted for a Street to Be Named After Elijah Muhammad
NYC Council voted to change the name of 129 street names this year. That’s pretty excessive. (News)
There should be a limit of five people per borough each year. We don’t need to rename every street in NYC.
I watched the video of NYC Council voting (See here – around 35 minutes).
The Councilmembers didn’t take the time or care needed for 129 names. Some council members spoke about their honorees before the voting began, but many Council members waited until it was their turn to vote to mention their honorees.
Honoring well-known NYC heroes, like Police Officer Wilbert Mora, who died protecting NY’ers is important.
Councilmember Kristin Richardson Jordan, who represents Harlem submitted Elijah Muhammad’s name. During the meeting, Jordan said: “It is actually not OK to erase black leaders who are not pleasing to white people.”
Elijah Muhammad was a leader of the Nation of Islam. Newspapers and Jewish publications have shared some inappropriate things Muhammad has said about Jewish people.
While the people should be diverse and don’t need to be pleasing to all people, they should be people who helped build NYC and didn’t spread hate.
NYC Council members wanted to get their streets named after their honorees, so they allowed Elijah Muhammad’s name. That’s the problem with doing 129 names at once.
Why don’t the people in Harlem get to vote if they want this name on their street?
Maybe Mayor Adams will veto his name?
If not, in a decade or so, a smart and loving child will grow up and get rid of Jordan and NYC Council’s mistake. Children wouldn’t allow someone who has promoted hate to receive recognition.

Councilwoman Vernikov Had Two Abandoned Boats Removed from Sheepshead Bay’s Waters
Councilwoman Inna Vernikov was very excited to have some old boats removed from the water in Sheepshead Bay!
Vernikov shared that she put aside $55,000 for this environmental project.
Watch the video below:
And they say Republicans don’t care about the environment??These were abandoned in our waterways for years. We funded removal via Greener Initiative & teamed up w/@NYCParks! Not only were they an eyesore, but dangerous for boaters & posed ecological threats to under ? habitats! pic.twitter.com/2MhyH1CRZB

Whose in the Pictures on the Back of Skinflints Brunch Menu?
The back of Skinflint’s brunch menu has a picture that was taken outside of the restaurant – around 1969.
Nancy K. shared that she is the 10-year-old girl with her family in the photo!
Skinflints Restaurant is on 5th Avenue and 79th Street. They are best known for the French onion soup and cheeseburgers (which are served on English muffins, rather than buns).
BTW, Skinflints St. Paddy’s Day decorations are fantastic too.
