The Green Fence on 69th Street & 3rd Avenue
People saw the green fence on corner of 3rd Avenue and 69th Street in Bay Ridge and got very nostalgic.
They hoped that their beloved Circles Restaurant was returning.
It doesn’t look likely as Gold Coast was the last restaurant at this location. Circles had moved moved to where Peace by Piece Thrift Store is now. Besides, the NYC Department of buildings shows this building is owned by Tim Ziss.
Let’s see what renovations will do to this old building that has been vacant for years!

Patch is Missing – Fort Hamilton Pkwy and 91st – 92nd Streets

Patch sleeps inside at night. She is on a special diet & needs meds.
She was shaven by the vet, so she looks skinnier & small.
Her owner is very worried about her. Last seen at Ft. Hamilton Pkwy, between 90 & 92 streets. Call/txt 917-609-1218

New Cell Phone Repair Store in Bay Ridge
Square Plus is a cell phone repair store. They also sell phone cases and accessories. And they do computer repairs too! 347-305-9599
It’s $80 to have an iPhone 10 screen replaced there.
This new place is next to Something Greek Restaurant on 3rd Avenue and 76th Street.
This used to be an Expedia Cruise booking shop – like a travel agent for cruises. It opened in 2017, but closed during the pandemic. The spot has been empty for awhile, so it’s nice to see a new shop!
Good luck to the new owner! Cell phone screens are always breaking, so the business should do well.

Music From SI is Keeping Bay Ridge Awake
For a past two months on Friday ad Saturday nights, Bay Ridge residents living near Shore Road in the 70’s – 90’s can’t sleep because music is blaring at 4:00 am or 5:00 am.
This weekend, some Ridgites noticed that the music was getting stronger and the sound was reaching as far as 3rd Avenue, as well as causing more vibration in their homes!
People called 311 and their calls were closed minutes after they were reported, while the music continues playing.
Ridgites have complained to the police and councilman, but the music continues because no one has found the music’s location.
One sleep-deprived Ridgite became so frustrated after the complaints about the noise have gone unanswered, he drove to find the origin of the music.
The Ridgite recorded the sound – it’s really loud in Bay Ridge! They are not exaggerating.
Many thought a cruiseship passing by Bay Ridge was causing the noise – it’s not!
The Ridgite shared that the music is coming from the Clifton public parking lot in Staten Island, which is across the water from Shore Road Park.
The music is loud in Staten Island too, but that area is industrial so it isn’t bothering people.
Hopefully, that information can help Ridgites get help and they can get a good night’s sleep again.

Indian Chief Painted On Building in Bay Ridge
Big Chief, a new smoke shop is opened on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 74th Street.
The front door tells visitors to go to the side door.
This is the front of the store:
They had an Indian chief painted on the side of the building to represent their brand. (Seen here)
The bottom of the painting says, “Please Chief Responsibly.”
On Saturday, some people lined up near the side entrance for the grand opening celebration of their shop. (See video)
What was in this location before? Most recently, it was a corner fruit/grocery store. Before that, it was Neugards for many years.
Will people be more upset about another smoke shop – future cannabis dispensary opening in the area or the use of this symbol?
