February 27, 2022Little Library Love on Shore Road
I love these Little Free Library boxes. No room for books ? in my tiny New York apartment ?? #littlefreelibrary #littlefreelibrariesofinstagram #bayridgereads #bayridge #readabook #readersofinstagram https://t.co/mvmbjq2o6c pic.twitter.com/hS5wm4digk
— Vinny Bogan ??? (@vinnybogan) February 27, 2022
Vinny shared his love for the Little Library on Shore Road.
I am putting this here so the creator of the box sees that people really appreciate having a Little Library to get books (I don’t know who the stewart of the box is or I would email her.)
Recently, the Little Library on Colonial and 83rd Street had the books thrown into the street and were rained on. While it’s discouraging to see the misuse of the Little Library, know that’s just one bored person. Many people love having the little libraries in the area.

February 27, 2022Rape in Bay Ridge on 2/19- Police & Pols Are Silent
Last Saturday, February 19th, a woman was raped on Shore Road and 91st Street at 11:00 am. A week has passed and neither politicians or the 68th Precinct have mentioned this crime. The newspapers have the crime stats, why did they ignore it?
No one needs to discuss the personal details of this crime, but political leaders and the Captain Tolson should have let the community know that it happened and let the community know if the rapist caught or not.
The NYPD Compstat map:
It’s classified as Rape 1 – meaning the rapist used a weapon.
Rape 1: “First degree rape involves forcible compulsion and may occur with the use or threatened use of a deadly weapon, kidnapping, infliction of serious bodily injury to the alleged victim, or burglary.“
.
Compstats for 2/14 – 2/20: (See NYPD Compstats)
Was anyone arrested or charged?
*** Prayers for the woman who was hurt by this attack. ****
Politicians and the 68th Precinct are all busy tweeting, but none are discussing the real issues happening in our community.
Crime is up across the NYC. An adjunct professor (who was formerly a NYPD officer) discusses crime across the city here.
