Why Trucks Aren’t Allowed on the Belt Parkway…
I saw the video below and thought it was worth sharing!
When someone says they want to replace the overpasses because they are old…..the truth is trucks don’t fit under them and they are advocating for businesses or companies that need to do carting. Last year there was a proposal like this on the table, but it was withdrawn.
Click on the video below to see this – the person filming knew what was going to happen, that’s why they filmed.
Andddddd that’s why no trucks on the parkways #whatisnewyork #beltparkway pic.twitter.com/RejdJHPxr6

Crazy Brainy Bin Store is Coming to Bay Ridge
Crazy Brainy Bin Store is coming to 8418 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge.
The store awning says they sells returns from Amazon, Target, Walmart and Ebay.
We’ve seen other discount bin stores like this out-of-state. They sell electronics, household items, furniture, clothing, bedding and toys.
On the window of Crazy Brainy is a long yellow sticker with the days and prices:
Friday: $10
Saturday $8
Sunday $6
Monday $5
Tuesday $4
Wednesday $3
Restock on Thursday
I’m surprised the Bay Ridge BID didn’t mention this new type of store opening on the Avenue. 5th Avenue could use this new energy!
Crazy Brainy was formed in February and they use an address on 60th Street and 17th Avenue. (See here)
What was in this spot before? A Beauty Supply store used to be here.

Scooters Are Getting Regulated Now
Breaking News…
In 2020, Councilman Justin Brannan and other city council representatives voted for Ebikes and scooters to be legal in NYC.(See here) Brannan and the other politicians didn’t anticipate what could go wrong.
That year, the pols were busy defunding the police and throwing ebikes and scooters into the NYC’s pandemic streets.
Of course other vehicle owners in Brooklyn thought this included all vehicles and started zipping around the neighborhood on motorbikes.
When people started dying from being hit by these vehicles, Councilman Brannan and the other Council representatives did not do anything. (See here and here)
When a 43-year-old Brooklyn mother, Xing Chun Rong, died earlier this month from being hit by an ebike, we expected to see Brannan and Senator Gounardes take action, but both failed this community. (Info here)
But the NYPD have!
Starting June 1, 2022, scooters and ebikes may not be operated unless they display the manufacturer’s label on the frame permanently.
The label must be displayed in a prominent location and include pertinent information to determine the intended classification.
This is a step in the right direction…..but ultimately the scooters and e-bikes are going to need to have license plates because some are used in crimes and criminals are getting away without a trace.
In Bay Ridge, a few package thieves ride on scooters as well.

Brooklyn Borough President’s Expired Car Registration and Expired Placard. Reynoso’s Response, “My Bad Genuinely.”
Brooklyn Borough President, Antonio Reynoso got caught by Placard Abuse Activists!
Yes, that’s my bad, genuinely. This car is the bane of my existence. Seldom used, I brought it out to handle all these issues. Removed Gov’t plates and returning placard. Dealing with DMV on registration. Will no longer have plates or placard moving forward. No excuses.
— Antonio Reynoso (@ReynosoBrooklyn) March 19, 2022

The Brooklyn Borough President has been in office for less than three months and he was accused of driving around with an expired car registration and using an expired NYC Council placard.
In response to the expired document, Reynoso said, “MY BAD, genuinely.” As if anyone questioned whether “My Bad” wasn’t genuine. 8D
Then Reynoso wrote something about no longer having plates or a placard.
Remember when Gothamist told us that Reynoso was going to make his security detail ride on bikes instead of cars? (See here)
Minutes later, journalist, Errol Louis is praising Reynoso for his nonsense tweet (no action taken). WHAT?!! Louis used to be a voice for the public and would call out politicians for their nonsense.
Brooklynites were quick to share that for four years Reynoso has been ticketed for not getting his car inspected.

RIP Dom DeMarco – The King of Pizza and Founder of Di Fara Pizzaria
Domenico “Dom” DeMarco, founder of Di Fara Pizzeria on Avenue J in Midwood, Brooklyn has passed away. See story
Every article about the best pizza in Brooklyn always listed DiFara Pizzeria at the top of the list for as long as I can remember. You may or may not agree, but he was a Brooklyn King of Pizza!
Dom was 85 years old and his pizzeria was open for 57 years. I met him on a rainy afternoon when I was around 10 years old. I was with my brother and when we walked in Dom said, “Hi Phil.” When we left, I asked my brother how he knew his name. My brother said, “Dom knows everyone who eats at DiFara’s.”
Other pizzerias are posting messages on social media about Domenico DeMarco tonight and each one is referring to Dom as the greatest Pizzaiolo of all! Look:
RIP Dom. Prayers for his family.
