Maimonides Breaks Ground in Bay Ridge

Maimonides broke ground on a 15,000 square foot freestanding emergency department, where Victory Memorial Hospital used to be in Bay Ridge!

This hospital is on 92nd Street and 7th Avenue.

In 2008, Suny Downstate bought this building, but then it closed.

The neighborhood is happy to see an emergency center coming back to this location. Even the 68th Precinct tweeted about it:

Marty Golden is Listed as the Senator

I saw this flyer a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t share it because I thought it was old/wasn’t updated.

It has SENATOR MARTY GOLDEN listed on it?!

The event took place on Shore Road and the 68th Precinct this week and the precinct shared the flyer and pictures on Twitter. See here

So there are people who think Marty Golden is still the senator. Did he fund this event? Or do these people just want Gounardes to know he is a terrible senator?

Teaching During a Pandemic

It’s nothing like teaching in a classroom.

I will never complain about how loud a class gets again – I miss the noise.

I went to school all Summer last year so I would be ready for this year. It helped. I also applied to a program which gave me a very generous grant.

With the grant, I was able to give students a bag of supplies to build their projects. Over 350 families came to my house to pick up their supplies. I didn’t have anyone not come. *And everyone had the same supplies to build with – which was awesome!

In their bag was LEDs, coin batteries, a motor, contruction paper and a lot of other general supplies. For 10 weeks, students built projects in their Zoom room with their friends. Then they shared videos of them with their classmates.

I had 100% attendance every day at 8:00 am. My students are amazing and resilient.

While I rarely mention that I am a teacher, this year was a lot harder than other years.

68th Precinct Towed Trucks on 86th Street

Captain Tolson said that the precinct towed the cars on 86th Street yesterday. Strangely, Poly Place did not have any large trucks on it yesterday afternoon. Whoever owns those must have known that the police were going to be towing in the area.

The empty trailers were still there. Did those get towed last night? If you are in the area, take a pic and share it.

Yesterday, the tru

Are there A Lot of CCP Members in Bay Ridge?

This peaceful motorcade with End the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) drove around Bay Ridge this afternoon.

It’s not the first time we have seen this motorcade.

So are there a lot of members of the CCP in Bay Ridge or the surrounding area? Or is someone supporting the CCP and they want to make a statement?
