Skunks Are in Bay Ridge Too
I’ve seen plenty of raccoons in Bay Ridge, but I have never seen a skunk. Vito shared this video of a skunk walking outside his house.
Last night, something didn’t smell quite right to me. ? pic.twitter.com/rqvAFAg4Gg

September 8, 2022RIP Unique Smith – He was Only 15-Year-Old
On Wednesday, September 7th. Unique Smith, a 15-year-old student at Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School was shot in McLaughlin Park in Brooklyn. (News here and here)
EMS transported Smith to Methodist Hospital, where he died a short time later.
What started as a fist fight between Unique Smith and a masked guy, ended with Unique being shot in the stomach. Meaning: the guy was losing the fist fight so he shot Unique to save face.
Following the shooting, two masked men fled from the park on Tillary Street in the direction of Adams. (Source)
The killing of young teens will continue in Brooklyn because no one cares to make any changes. Meaning: Politicians are too focused with lobbyists and publishing their pictures. If politicians cared, there would be protocols for when there is a shooting involving a child or teen. There’s nothing, but pols Tweeting about it.
Prayers for Unique’s mother and family and friends. Nothing could be worse than his mother hearing this news.

Hmmm…do you think he’s stealing my signs because he works for my opponent or does he just really want them for his own house? #SignWars pic.twitter.com/oLLNlXfVAO

Whoever removes a sign is the weaker candidate….in every election we have seen this. Such a petty move!

September 8, 2022Tour Around McKinley Park With Vinnie G.
Vinnie encountered this guy fixing his car on the sidewalk.
Vinnie G. made a video of his walk from Dyker Heights near St. Ephrem and McKinley Park to Bay Ridge to get a gyro from Istanbul 2 at 8002 5th Avenue.
It’s a nice video because it isn’t a common area to be filmed.
Vinnie G said, “the neighborhood changed.” Most times when I hear that statement, its not good. But Vinnie is taking a long walk to get a meal that no one in his family makes, but he looks forward to.
While he filmed, Vinnie talked about how he doesn’t carry cash.
Go subscribe to Vinnie G here so he can go live in Brooklyn.
