February 24, 2022Embers Was Sold – The Adjacent Building Too

Breaking News!
Embers at 9519 – 3rd Avenue and the adjacent building with Vinnie’s Butcher Shop (9517) have sold!

Two large sold signs from McGuire Realty were placed on the adjacent buildings. They replaced the for sale signs that were up for years. (See below)

Congratulations to the new owners! We’re glad that these aren’t going to be empty storefronts for much longer.
Will a new restaurant come to 3rd Avenue, where the former steakhouse used to be? Or will it become a condominium complex? (I’ll let you know when I find out or leave me a message when you know!)

8 subway cars, only 3 without someone using them for shelter. 10+ people in need of help, one who is barefoot on this freezing morning (30f)
Where has all our tax $$ for social services gone? @NYCMayorsOffice, @NYCMayor, @NYCCouncil, @nypost, @JustinBrannan pic.twitter.com/8woPENvgez
If your uncle or brother was riding the R Train Hotel in Brooklyn without shoes in February, wouldn’t you want someone to call you?
Andrew Gounardes likes to campaign inside the 95th Street Train Station in Bay Ridge, but he won’t go down to the tracks and help the men riding the R Train Hotel.
Why has Gounardes not called the families of these men or had someone in NYC do that?

People are paying a lot of property taxes, yet none of it is going to social services to help these men,
Senator Gounardes will not transparent tell us how our tax money has been spent.
Gounardes hopes that you are working virtually and don’t know that he isn’t doing anything to help these men, even when he is in the station campaigning.
Politicians wants to banter about mental health, but none will take action to help get these men off the R Train Hotel.

February 23, 2022$3800 For Storefront Rent on 3rd Avenue

When I saw the listing for this storefront, I felt so sad.

Norma’s Arts and Crafts at 7813 3rd Avenue is a special store in Bay Ridge. And it’s such a loss for this community that this store is closing as many families went there.
$3800 for rent is a lot of money for rent….for any type of business.

Hopefully, this place won’t be empty for a long time, like so many other places on the avenue.
