March 12, 2022Was a Man Shot on 83rd Street Last Night?

A Bay Ridge resident who lives on the block told me that a man was shot on 83rd Street in Bay Ridge last night around 10:15 pm.
As we have seen before, just because a newspaper doesn’t publish a story and no politicians are talking about it, it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
The Citizen app shows this, but there isn’t any information.

March 12, 2022When Your Representative Makes Memes….You Know You Elected The Wrong Person


It’s strange that Justin Brannan would think it was funny to make a meme about the NYC Health Commission. Dave Chokshi.
The doctor probably is surprised politicians sit around wasting their times creating memes while he is dealing with coronavirus in NYC.

A few months ago, Brannan posted the meme above – at least that wasn’t offensive. The one posted today (below) is.

Bay Ridge, elect someone who doesn’t have the time to to make memes because they are doing bigger and better things.

March 11, 2022RIP Xingchun Rong – Mother Killed in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn by E-Bike Rider

On March 4th 2022, a man and woman were crossing 76th Street and 19th Avenue in Bensonhurst around 6:00 pm on Friday, March 4th, when a man on an e-bike hit them both. (Update: See the accident here)
The couple was forced onto the pavement. The 45-year-old man blacked out and then regained consciousness. His 43-year-old wife, Xing Chun Rong was bleeding from her head.
The 50-year-old rider stayed at the scene. (Info here) The Brooklyn Reporter wrote that he was arrested for criminal possession of a controlled substance. (See here)

Xing Chun Rong was brought to Maimonides Hospital, given blood and put on life-support. She was eventually taken off life support and died on March 8th.
This beautiful, young mother should not have died like this. Xing Chun Rong is the mother of a teenage son.
Prayers for her son and husband. A Go-Fund-Me Account was made for her funeral. (See here)

March 11, 2022Rally to Save the Veteran’s Hospital in Brooklyn

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis is fighting the Biden Administration because they want to close the Veteran’s Hospital in Bay Ridge. (More info here and here)

While many vets in Bay Ridge depend on this hospital, the newspaper says they are proposing that vets in Brooklyn go to Bronx VA or Northport VA n Long Island to get services – that’s terrible and not acceptable to ask seniors to travel that far. Staten Island vets would have to go to NJ.
On Sunday, March 13th there is a rally at 2:00 pm to help save the VA Hospital. The rally will take place on 7th Avenue and Poly Place.
Malliotakis has always been a strong supporter of Veterans, so I am not surprised she would be fighting this.
I am surprised that neither of Malliotakis’ Democratic challengers have jumped on this issue because both were in the military! I would have thought Max Rose and Brittany Ramos DeBarros would be the first people speaking up for vets, but neither mentioned the Veteran’s Hospital or this change by the Biden administration on their Facebook or Twitter accounts. They must not be aware of the this situation.
