Summer Stroll attracts big crowds in 2nd go-around
The second event in the Summer Stroll on 3rd series the Merchants of Third Avenue group is presenting in Bay Ridge this year went off without a hitch on July 22, despite a heat wave that caused temperatures to soar into the mid-90s.
A 10-block stretch of Third Avenue (80th Street to 90th Street) was closed to vehicular traffic from 6 to 10 p.m., a pedestrian mall plaza was created and people came out in droves to stroll the avenue.
