August 29, 2022Brooklynites Try To Get Rite Aid to Fix It’s Cooling System
For several weeks, Ridgites have been going into Rite Aid at 9302 3rd Avenue (AkA Store 4712) and taking photos of the thermostat. It’s showing temperatures in the 90’s.
It’s good there are kind people who care about employees at a drugstore because many people would go in, notice the high temperature, complain and not do anything.
Ridgites alerted the Councilman and the store was closed temporarily, but it is open again and the thermostat shows 91.5%.

August 29, 2022Muggings on Mopeds in NYC
Welcome to NYC, where you get robbed in broad daylight. pic.twitter.com/jZCPFLRO56

Armed robberies are easier to do when the thieves are able to escape quickly. It’s so sad that things have come down to this. (See story)
These vehicles need license plates so that riders are accountable to everyone.
The police can’t chase these criminals because that will cause more dangerous situations on the road.
A good guy comes and pulls the thief off the bike – he even chased after him.

August 28, 2022Anapoli Ice Cream Parlor in Bay Ridge Closed
Anapoli Ice Cream Parlor on 3rd Avenue and 69th Street closed for good. They told me today was the their last day in business.
Although the eatery had been opened by multiple families, it’s been Anapoli’s ice cream parlor/restaurant for 125 years. (See article from 10 years ago). This must be Bay Ridge’s oldest restaurant.
These owners had the restaurant for 26 years:
It’s sad to see an iconic place in Bay Ridge, that survived the pandemic closing now.
This has been a place that many Bay Ridge families enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or ice cream for many years!
Good luck to the owners.

August 27, 2022Nicole Malliotakis Fostered and Found a Home For Dog That Someone Disposed Of
Last month, the Fire Department pulled a dog out of the Harlem River. Nicole Malliotakis met “Aqua” through the ASPCA and decided to foster him.
Malliotakis took the dog home and within a week, Malliotakis found the dog a forever home!
Malliotakis said that she still has visiting rights because the dog is with someone she knows.
This is a great story and the type of thing that newspapers should be sharing with us!
Large dogs do not get adopted as easily as small and medium dogs at shelters in NYC. Many are killed when they aren’t adopted in 30 days. Malliotakis encouraged others to try fostering a dog. (Info here)
There is a bill in the NYS Senate that Andrew Gounardes will not co-sponsor that could help shelter dogs. (See here) The bill is also in the NYS Assembly and neither Frontus or Tannousis has sponsored the bill to help shelter dogs. (See here)
