June 22, 2022Taste of Lebanon Is No Longer Opening Here

In March 2019, Taste of Lebanon announced that they were opening in Bay Ridge. (See here) But they never did. Today, I saw the business for sale sign on the front of the store.

For years, the paper fell from the window. They had permits and must have done a lot of work to make it into a restaurant.

It was going to be a nice place: (See more pics here)

They are selling the business for $228,000 – see info

June 22, 2022Accident on 88th and Ridge Blvd This Morning

This morning, a little after 8:00 am, there was an accident on 88th and Ridge Blvd in Bay Ridge. (See video)
This is a school zone, so if it happened a few minutes earlier, families walking to school could have been hurt. There are schools and daycares in this area.
From the other way this looks much worse:

An ambulance took someone away in this accident, so hopefully they are okay.
Someday, someone in office will care and do something about the 88th Street and 92nd Street intersections on Ridge Blvd. Right now, we have men who are more concerned with lobbyists.
