Annual Shore Road tree lighting brings Bay Ridge together
Bay Ridge celebrated its first of many tree lightings this holiday season Thursday at State Senator Marty Golden’s annual festivities at the Shore Road Park gazebo.
“When the lights come on, out of the darkness, it represents our hope for love, joy and peace – not only for our neighborhood but throughout the world,” Golden told a packed crowd near the corner of 90th Street and Shore Road.
The pol said, “Christmas is a time for giving,” and encouraged the crowd to reserve some of their thought for local seniors and the homeless this time of year. “If you have a chance this Christmas to knock on a door, to make a senior’s day or to make a family happy, please do that,” he said.
