We just received a note from our councilman Carlos Menchaca. It has the details of a promised community meeting about proposed renovations to Valentino Pier. Here is the email in full:

Fence

“Please join me this Thursday at 7:00pm at the Red Hook Library for an update from the Parks Department on the fencing around Valentino Pier. The fencing was put up last week for a small infrastructure project along the pathways. The Borough Commissioner will be providing us with details on the project, which is currently on hold. Once we learn more, we can provide feedback as to whether it makes sense to move forward. 

I recognize this is short notice, but my office wanted to move quickly to get some answers on this fencing. If you can’t make it on Thursday, look out for regular updates on the future of this project.”

 

This is the second community meeting that Menchaca has held recently. Over the summer there was an emergency meeting following the death of a teenager running for a bus on Lorraine Street. At that meeting the commanding officer of the 76th Precinct was there to hear community suggestions.

Menchaca always stresses the importance of community participation in government.

Spanning four decades of work from 1986 to 2026, the exhibition is a masterclass in how you can experience the dual character

Quinn on Books: A Brownsville Fire That Still Burns, “Livonia Chow Mein”

Review of “Livonia Chow Mein,” by Abigail Savitch-Lew Is it true what people say—you can’t go home again? My partner once remarked, “The Germany I left isn’t the same Germany I’d return to.” I’ve never left New York, and I feel just as disoriented. Abigail Savitch-Lew’s debut, “Livonia Chow Mein,” is a novel about belonging. Set in Brownsville, Brooklyn, it

Grella on Jazz: Following Miles

Miles Davis is more than a musician, he’s an icon. The aspects of that shifted through the years and eras of his life, and that continues in his afterlife—his centennial is May 26. The fashion figure has vanished from popular culture since the end of The Gap’s mid-1990s campaign showing Miles (and Jack Kerouac, Steve McQueen, and others) wearing khakis.
