Recycle your old electronics at Tekserve this Saturday (March 31)Submitted by steve on Thu, 03/29/2012 - 11:56Bay Ridge to get our own Jersey Shore reality show. Lucky us.Submitted by steve on Sun, 03/04/2012 - 22:21If you ask anyone on the streets of Bay Ridge about Oxygen Network's upcoming Brooklyn 11223 reality show you'll get a blank stare. Nobody's heard of it. While it's been filming around Bay Ridge since last September, there have been a lot of Hollywood crews around here lately, from the TV shows Pan Am, Blue Bloods and Law & Order SVU to feature films like White Irish Drinkers and Cop Out. It was easy for it to get lost in the crowd of bigger budget productions. But when you tell those folks what the show is about, guess what? Same blank stare. Nobody really cares, except for the politicians and community leaders that is. For them, this show is an affront to Bay Ridge and what The Sopranos was to Italian-Americans. I can't believe the backlash against it, which has even reached the pages of Huffington Post. I haven't seen outrage like this since William Friedkin's gay serial killer movie, Cruising, back in the 1980s. Local bloggers are swinging at shadows, protests have been organized by community groups, advertiser boycotts have been threatened... all of which, of course, serve only to increase the buzz for a low-budget show on a lightly-watched network. To my knowledge, nobody has actually seen the show. Premiering on Oxygen on Monday, March 26 at 11PM ET/PT, Brooklyn 11223 is supposed be a "voyeuristic look" into the lives of a group of vapid twentysomething girls whose once rock-solid friendships have been torn apart by betrayal. From the early PR sheet, it "follows the story of two groups of girls fighting a turf war to rule Bay Ridge. Who will win is uncertain, but the stakes have never been higher." Priceless. Scenes from the Stoop SaleSubmitted by steve on Sat, 06/11/2011 - 20:37The weather was marginal but the turnout was good anyway, for both buyers and sellers. Lots of old trash became new treasures, bought and exchanged, and it demonstrated how a block can work together to pull off a community event. Congratulations and appreciation to Brenda, Carol, Regina and the other ladies of the Stoop Sale committee for pulling this off!

Neighborhood meeting with Inspector RodriguezSubmitted by steve on Sat, 07/03/2010 - 13:47
Summary of last night's meeting with Inspector Rodriguez and Vincent Gentile at the 68 Precinct. (Man, could Inspector Rodriguez do double work for Joe Pesci or what? He even SOUNDS like him.)
