Taqueria El Punte in Bay Ridge Closed
Taqueria El Punte looked closed for business. I checked their Facebook page and they left a goodbye message.
They were in business for many years in Bay Ridge. Sad to see Josephine close up. She was a great cook.

January 2, 2023Iwen Chu Began the Year Harping on Division Instead of Building Bridges in Brooklyn
Iwen Chu, the newly elected senator in Dyker Heights wrote an Op-Ed to the newspaper to start the year.
Instead of sharing her new office address and the legislation she would introduce, Iwen Chu harped on the election results from two months ago.
Many people voted against Democrats in Brooklyn because they have failed to help people in this community.
Iwen Chu should have called for a meeting with all the elected state leaders for the area. Chu will need both Republicans and Democrats to work together on the bills she will be introducing for the AAPI community and that area of uBrooklyn.
Senator Chu had these plans on her website when she ran for office, so we should see a lot of legislation:
Iwen Chu will need the Republican Assembly members to push her bills in the Assembly.
For years, Iwen was silent and supported Democrat leaders, who didn’t help the AAPI community. Last week, the burnt vehicle was moved to Senator Chu’s area because someone knew she wouldn’t notice OR she would be silent about it (which she has been). (More info)
Finally, Iwen supported politicians that flip-flopped on gifted education and made it an arguing issue between parties, instead of doing the right thing for students. Thankfully, Mayor Adams chose an excellent Chancellor that settled that.
The elections results in Southern Brooklyn should have made politicians take note that press release politics, gerrymandering and pictures on social media aren’t helping Brooklyn residents.
Brooklynites in Southern Brooklyn need help so the voted for new leaders to get help!

January 2, 2023The 62nd Precinct Asked About the Burnt Vehicle
This morning the 62nd Precinct asked about the location of the burnt SUV with the blown out windows:
Last week, Councilman Brannan contacted the home owner where the vehicles were parked, but he did not have the vehicles moved.
The homeowner where the vehicles were moved to, filed a 311 complaint. The complaint was closed stating that the owner of the vehicles claimed the vehicles. The 62nd Precinct already has the address from the 311 complaint.
If you haven’t been following along….here’s the recap.

January 2, 2023Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny’s Website is Up
Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny, representing District 46 – Bay Ridge to Coney Island already has his website set up here.
He kept the same offices that Frontus had in both Coney Island and Bay Ridge (on 93rd Street off 3rd Avenue).
*The NYS Assembly Districts were gerrymandered, and new districts will be made in the coming months. (Info here) Let’s hope that the final revision doesn’t take Alec Brook-Krasny’s district away from him, like they did with Ari Kagan.
Peter Abbate was removed from District 49’s website, but they didn’t put Lester Chang up yet. (See here)
