New Sign on Mike’s Royal Diner in Bay Ridge

Royal Diner was sold – now it’s Mike’s Royal Diner at 7609 – 5th Avenue.
The Bay Ridge Bid shared the photo above of their pretty new sign!
Mike’s other diner at 1454 86th Street is very nice, so we know this one is going to be great too. (See photos of the food)
Congratulations to the new owners!

February 16, 2022Charles Fall Cancelled His Endorsement of Max Rose

WOW! Assemblyman Charles Fall from Staten Island has rescinded his endorsement for Max Rose.
He’s “Maxxed Out,” like we are in Bay Ridge.
Rose had his turn and he didn’t do much as Congressman in the area. There were no Townhall Meetings. Rose looked away and didn’t call out corruption or hate in Bay Ridge.

February 16, 2022Homeowners – This Property Tax Meeting by Senator Gounardes Was Not Useful

Last year, my husband went to the meeting that the politicians held about property taxes with the Department of Finance.
It wasn’t helpful at all. Here’s why:
a) The politicians were there to say hello and then logged out of the meeting. A staffer was logged in with their camera off.
b) The person from the Department of Finance showed slides, but didn’t have any new information. Although they offered to take questions, they didn’t answer any. They told my husband to go to the next meeting which was weeks after that meeting.
c) My husband was the only one who asked questions, so someone should have provided an answer.
d) The politician‘s staffer who was logged did not have her camera on and did not provide any assistance when the Department of Finance failed to help. My husband didn’t receive an email from the politician’s office with help, but should have.

February 16, 202210 Years
Yesterday and today I heard songs that I haven’t heard in a decade.
Both times, other people were playing the music.
I stopped and smiled because they were my brother’s favorite songs. He’s been gone for 10 years today.
He was 12 years older and a teenager when I was a kid. He took good care of me and I miss him a lot.

February 15, 2022NYC Parks Meeting Didn’t Allow Brooklynites In The Zoom Meeting To Discuss the Greenway – Bay Ridge

I went to tonight’s meeting.
I mean I tried to. But the meeting never started. This stayed on the screen the whole time:

It could have been a “fake meeting” to make people think that they were listening or they didn’t want this Brooklynite to hear what they were saying.
There is no one to complain to because we don’t have a representatives who cares. Some NCO’s at the 68th Precinct do the same thing as we have tried several of the meetings.
TONIGHT at 6:30 PM, New York City Parks will have a Zoom meeting to share what they are doing at Shore Road, Leif Ericson and the Brooklyn Greenway to Coney Island.
Register for the meeting
Attend the meeting

February 14, 2022Justin Brannan Withdraws Bill for Large SUVs After Streetsblog Calls Him Out

Kudos to Julianne Cuba, a journalist for Streets Blog NYC called out Councilman Justin Brannan for his frivoulous bill that would allow large SUV owners to pay the same for parking, as regular sized cars.(See article)
Instead of making streets safer or helping people during the pandemic, Brannan thinks this was important legislation. (See bill)
After Julianna Cuba’s article came out this afternoon, Brannan withdrew the bill.

Too bad the Bay Ridge Democrats and Democratic District Leaders don’t hold Brannan accountable like this.
