Accident 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.

The protesters were energized by Hadid’s presence on 5th Avenue and that participated in the protest with them.
Bella Hadid is using her platform to speak about Palestine but SOME Malaysian celebrities and influencers aren’t and masih sibuk ootd raya, if this doesn’t say it all I don’t knkw what does.

May 16, 2021Curtis Sliwa and Brian Fox Went to St. Athanasius
I saw that Curtis Sliwa and Brian Fox went to St. Athanasius to check-in with Monsignor Cassato. The story behind this picture is interesting. (See the video here)
A flag was burned outside of St. A’s and a wooden cross was knocked over outside the school on Friday. Sliwa and Fox took the time out of their weekend to show support to a religious leader. I like the new flag they brought the pastor.
Where’s Eric Adams, the current Brooklyn Borough President? No where to be found as usual.

May 15, 2021Nabka in Bay Ridge – Free Palestine Protest

Thousands of people – Palestinians and non-Palestinians gathered on 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge.

Everyone is tired of the senseless deaths of Palestinians – especially of Palestinian children through the bombings. And leaders are siding with Israel instead of yelling ENOUGH!

The protesters started out on 5th Avenue, but then walked down to 3rd Avenue to share the message with the community. There was easily over a thousand people there – see video.

There was no counter-protest. Some people thought this was a sign that Israel was winning, but it’s Saturday and that’s the Sabbath day for counter-protesters.

The local news asked people at the protest where they were from – many were from NJ. They had come to show their support.

— Brooke Pierce (@BPie7) May 15, 2021Most annoying part of the day for residents was the helicopter flying overheard in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights all afternoon and in the evening too.
The 6th Avenue exit on the Gowanas Expressway had to be closed because some protesters and those on bicycles were there. Most of the protesters were not.

A lot of people support the Palestinians, but when protesters blocked traffic, families in the area were inconvenienced as they came home from events. Closing the highway didn’t bring the event any more coverage because only the Citizen app showed it (news stations didn’t). It’s a selfish thing to do.
