Scouring the Web for all things Brooklyn
Bay Ridge archive
Coney Island strip mall?
Bensonhurst: The man who brought the city’s only drive-through Starbucks to Cropsey Avenue is bringing more retail to the dreary Gateway to Coney Island — and he says it might kick-start the drag’s transition into a shopping destination. Comments (3).
If Key Food closes, grocery to move in?
Bay Ridge: In Bay Ridge, Walgreens might actually carry greens. The chain drug store that is slated to replace a popular Key Food supermarket will sell produce and fresh meat, state Sen. Marty Golden (R–Bay Ridge) announced at a rally in front of the Third Avenue grocery on May 31 — but Walgreens officials aren’t making any promises. Comments (1).
Con-damn!-ent
Bay Ridge: A woman was fooled by the old ketchup trick after she left an 86th Street bank on May 30, cops said. Plus all the other crime news from Bay Ridge’s 68th Precinct. Comment.
Capano gunning for assembly
Bay Ridge: A staffer in embattled Rep. Vito Fossella’s Bay Ridge office says his boss’s tarnished reputation won’t hurt him in his just-announced run for the Assembly. Comments (1).
Powers that be
Bay Ridge: Brooklyn Republicans have joined their Staten Island bedfellows and endorsed dark-horse candidate Francis Powers to retain GOP control of the seat held by outgoing, and disgraced, Rep. Vito Fossella — and at the same time, Democrats are increasingly uniting behind their candidate, Councilman Mike McMahon. Comment.
Flush with success!
Bay Ridge: Kings County will finally get its own throne. Six months after installing the city’s first automatic public toilet in Manhattan, the city announced last week that Bay Ridge’s 69th Street pier — a popular gathering place for all but those needing a restroom — would get one of the fancy, self-cleaning outhouses. Comment.
Ridge synagogue for sale
Bay Ridge: A Bay Ridge synagogue with a shrinking congregation decided on Wednesday to tear down its sanctuary and sell a portion of its Fourth Avenue property to a developer. Comments (2).
