We discovered a note that leads us to believe that modern day pirates, YES PIRATES, have landed along the shore of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn recently. They left a menacing skull and bones note at the top of the 81st Street overpass along the Belt Parkway.
“I Pillage ye booty. you ARSE BE Kicked!”
Anyone who spots a tall, wooly gentleman whose beard is smoking or a man who uses a wooden leg should probably run inside and lock all of their doors and windows. We’ve been warned!
While any and all construction activity of a promised new public school coming to the site of the old Bay Ridge Green Church is nowhere to be seen, the School Construction Authority has rather silently acquired land and is moving forward and progressing about a mile down the road at the corner of 4th Avenue and 89th Street.
In the last month or so, they’ve demolished the two buildings that stood on the lot that had been housing a car alarm installation business and a long closed car wash.
From the looks of the DOB website, it appears as though numerous lots are being combined create the L shape footprint of a new school that will be called P.S. 264 and that the main entrance will be set off of the corner of 4th Avenue at 371 89th Street.
The Brooklyn Eagle reports that P.S. 264 is set to open in 2013 and will have enough space for 475 students.
To us, accommodation for up to 475 students actually means accommodation for up to 1,000 students — this is based off of our personal experience with the classroom and school size of the public schools that we’ve gone to here in Brooklyn.
This is arguably the first good construction project in the Bay Ridge/Fort Hamilton area in roughly 50-plus years and we look forward to seeing it progress.
Today would have been the King’s 75th birthday.
Do yourself the favor of enjoying three minutes and 33 seconds of the pure awesomeness that Elvis was live on stage!
His live stuff is where it’s at and if you ever get the chance to, pop on a good long live Elvis album and drive down south over the crazy long Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel.
It’s quite possibly the best and most thrilling way to listen to him live.
