Cyclones MCU Park Renamed to Maimonides Park

The Cyclones used to play at MCU Park. But now the park has been renamed Maimonides Park.

Tonight was their first game after not playing for 600 days!

This is one place that Brooklynites love to stop by each Spring/Summer! Get vaccinated and go!

May 17, 2021Andrew Gounardes Chooses Politics Over People as He Pushes Speeding Politician for Comptroller

When Andrew Gounardes ran against Marty Golden for the senate seat, Gounardes claimed street safety was an important issues to him. During the election, Gounardes flaunted Golden’s driving record.
Even now, Gounardes’ solution to speeding is to install red more red light cameras.
Today, Gounardes shared a video and his support for Brad Lander who has been caught speed through red light camera zones many times! See here and here

Here’s the strange part…..no one in Gounardes’ office, his family or friends told him that he looks stupid for posting support for a candidate who has no respect for the streets.
There is a qualified female running for Comptroller, Terry Liftin. This is the second time I have seen Gounardes try to block a female candidate because he and “his friends” want to play politics. The first was with Mathylde Frontus and was written about here.
It’s sad that politicians aren’t able to speak the truth to their colleagues. Gounardes lacks integrity and is using his position to push his friend, who breaks the law repeatedly.

May 17, 2021Accident on 5th Avenue and 72nd Street

Right before 6:00 pm, there was an accident on 5th Avenue and 72nd Street. (See here)

The Citizen App said a person was blocking traffic. The videos showed a accident where a motorbike was hit. Then a lot of people were talking to the police.

The bike is seen standing up in one of the videos. There are also no ambulances in any of the videos, so hopefully it wasn’t too serious.

May 16, 2021Brannan and Gounardes Are “Waiting on de Blasio” AGAIN

Many senior citizens in Bay Ridge are fully vaccinated. They want to get back to normal life and see their friends.
Some seniors have called on Senator Gounardes and Councilman Brannan to open the senior centers.
Some seniors are very persistent (Great work guys – you are fighting not just for yourselves, but for many seniors who don’t have access to the web or aren’t doing well because they have been alone for so long.)
On May 3rd, Brannan and Gounardes wrote a letter to the Mayor and Governor. Then they practiced press release politics and shared the letter, so it looks like they are doing something. (See here)

A week later, Brannan went on Facebook and shared the old article. One person in the comments caught him, but you will see many people just politely thank Brannan. Brannan thinks he fooled them. (See here)

Two weeks after the politicians wrote their letters, nothing has happened. By now, Gounardes and Brannan should have taken action for the seniors.
What didn’t Councilman Brannan and Senator Gounardes put tables and chairs outside in the parking lot of the senior center? There’s plenty of room for the seniors to gather outside.
The four politicians offices (Brannan, Gounardes, Frontus and Malliotakis) in our area could have worked together and each taken a day to host the seniors outside their office. Call the city and have the senior lunches delivered there. Many of the seniors don’t have families in Brooklyn!
The politicians could have worked with the churches and assisted them in creating outdoor areas for the seniors to gather and play cards or crochet. Several local churches have senior programs, like St. Anselm and St. Ephrem’s. These organizations may appreciate some help from the politicians.
When the mayor is busy and can’t respond, the lower level politicians should be able to work and make things happen in their community. For some reason, we have politicians who like to act like their hands are tied and they can’t do anything. Waiting for Cuomo or de Blasio shouldn’t the be the answer from any elected leader!
DO SOMETHING….DO ANYTHING. Politicians – stop writing letters and articles and help people! Gounardes and Brannan appear to be wrapped up in other people’s campaigns and aren’t doing the real work in their neighborhoods.
