Meters Broken on 5th Avenue Between 71st and 72nd Street, But Agent Gives Ticket Anyway!

A Brooklynite parked on 5th Avenue between 71st and 72nd Streets in Bay Ridge.

She had to walk to another meter because the two near her car were not working.

The ticket agent wrote a ticket even though the meters were broken!

Update: Mia is Back With Her Family!

Update: Hooray Mia is back with her family

On Saturday, April 4th, this nice couple saw Mia, the Shih Tzu standing alone on the street.

They followed Mia and picked her up outside of 6762 – 4th Avenue.

We know they are nice people because they didn’t hesitate to help a dog they didn’t know.

Mia’s family misses her and just wants to be reunited with their dog.

Prayers for Mia’s fast return.

Owls Head Park’s Unannounced Opening

For weeks Owls Head Park has been quietly been used by children and teens who went through the hole in the fence. *No one has repaired the fence and stopped them.

Owl Head Park construction was supposed to be completed in February:

Over the weekend, many families were using the playground, and basketball courts at Owl’s Head Park. Parks Department employees were present in the park and didn’t ask them to leave.

There are signs in the park stating that it is not open yet, but the fences are down and the Parks Department employees aren’t fixing them:

An Orthodox school drove up to bring children to the park for Passover. Schools have been going to Owls Head Park for years, especially during Passover. About 50 people were in the playground area, while others were playing basketball.

Since the new park isn’t open yet, there were not enough trash bins, so the trash bins present were overflowing and trash was on the ground.

Since Bay Ridge has social media politicians, no one bothered having the barriers fixed. Hopefully, the park is safe for the early visitors.

Happy Easter Bay Ridge!

Happy Easter to all of my neighbors!

If you are away from God this Easter, in the Bible, He invites you back 66 times. “Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty and I will return to you.” (Zechariah 1:3)

People ask me: How can I return to God after all these years? Say any prayer you know – even one you made up to begin the conversation (that’s how I did it).

If you aren’t ready to do that yet, read Jeremiah 29:11: https://shorturl.at/2O27Z

If you are bothered by this message, don’t be. This message is meant for someone that God is pursing.
