The 62nd Police shared this photo of a blue Nissan 4-Door Sedan at noon on June 28th. (See here)

Not one politician has spoken about the incident – that’s why people use the Citizen app. The App didn’t tell us that a senior was involved.

July 27, 2021Brooklynite Pulls Down Mugger’s Pants

People from Sunset Park, Brooklyn are scrappy!
A mugger tried to rob a man on 54th Street and 7th Avenue. The theif took the 25-year-old man down to the ground and tried to rob him, but that didn’t stop the Brooklyn from fighting the large thief!
The man being mugged, pulled the thief’s pants down! The mugger didn’t get away with anything but his own shorts. Story and video here – it’s crazy – go watch it
I love that his neighbors didn’t hesitate to jump in and help in Sunset Park, but it’s not recommended because we did see a man lose his life for jumping in to help during a robbery in Sunset Park!

July 27, 2021Patty’s Meat Market on 7th Avenue Closed

Eddie, the butcher closed Patty’s Meat Marker at 7917 – 7th Avenue. People are sad about the store closing because it was open for many years and now they need a new butcher.
For those of you looking for a new butcher, head down to Bay Ridge!
Faico’s is on 11th Avenue and 66th Street and B&A is closer to 7th Avenue, but it’s the Summer and this is a vacation week – so head down to Anthony’s Butcher at 7324 – 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge. Lee loves them!
At Anthony’s Butcher, they can order whatever you want and they make a lot of great things. You can call in your order 718-748-4184 and they will have it ready for you. Plus a nice family runs this store and their food is always fresh.

July 26, 2021Redistricting Brooklyn Meeting 7/29

When it was voting season, politicians didn’t stop calling, mailing stupid flyers, ringing our bell or e-mailing us!

Now that they are planning to redistrict Brooklyn without us.
Not one politician has invited us to the Redistricting Brooklyn Planning Session. Did you get an invitation or flyer about it?

Even weirder, NYC is having these meetings in the middle of the Summer while people are away.
Gothamist says redistricting equals POWER. See here

To speak at the redistricting meeting or give testimony, go here and choose which one you want in the blue box.

What will I be writing to them?
I was thinking something like this:
Dear NY Redistricting Commission: My local politicians didn’t tell us about this meeting. I bet they are going to give testimony, so I hope you will disregard their testimony and continue to leave Bay Ridge, Brooklyn 11209 with the current section of Brooklyn and Staten Island. We aren’t able to get help from local representatives and getting rid of the Republicans in Staten Island isn’t going to make things any better. Please just even out the districts with boxes around each community (rather than half blocks or pick and choose constituents on blocks due to their political party). One of our state representatives is accepting money from the other areas, as well as PAC money (see attached).
To submit a redistricting map, go here to upload a map.
NYS expects to have the redistricting done by January 2021.

Some Democrats want the area to be rezoned with Sunset Park, the UWS and Soho, which makes no sense at all. If you are a Republican, your district leaders should have contacted you and asked you to participate.
Senator Andrew Gounardes has been taking donations from Park Slope and a lot of PAC money, so you want to speak out against this as both Democrat and Republicans are needed in this district.
Gounardes is accepting money from a PAC that supports bail reform:

Of course that’s not the only PAC money!

One day, I saw a large Mickey rock on 3rd Avenue. I looked up and saw a little boy coming, so I stood in a doorway watch him. He was so excited – just pure joy when he found that rock!
