Did Con Edison Lower the Power in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights?
Everyone I have spoken with this week is saying that their air conditioners and fans are not working as powerfully as it normally does during the Summer.
Did Con Edison lower the power so that we don’t have a brown out or black out?
We have had some hot Summers in NYC and this definitely isn’t the hottest one.

Temporary Art Installation at Owl’s Head Park
Students from Fort Hamilton High School worked with artist, Eirini Lindardaki to create this temporary art installation for Owl’s Head Park. The work is called: “Raised – the Floating.” It’s made from wood, cast cement, polyester resin and paint.
What does this installation represent? From the artist’s website: “This project tells the story of the people who passed through these waterways as immigrants and the people who live or have lived in the neighborhood.”
It’s great that students had a chance to participate in an art installation. We will probably see a lot of photos of people posing on this art installation once people discover it.
This installation will be in the park until the Spring 2023.
