    Crowds in Brooklyn Bridge Park and in DUMBO watche Crowds in Brooklyn Bridge Park and in DUMBO watched in shock as the stately ARM Cuauhtémoc, a three-masted Mexican Navy training ship on a goodwill visit to New York City, slammed stern-first into the Brooklyn Bridge at roughly 8:39 p.m. Saturday.  The crash broke the tops of three light-bedecked masts, injuring numerous crew members and killing two. The boat carries a crew of more than 200. Our reporter Mary Frost was on the scene. Click the link in bio to read more.

    A 53-year-old auto repair shop in Brooklyn Heights A 53-year-old auto repair shop in Brooklyn Heights — the last in the neighborhood — may have to close or move after getting hit with hundreds of 311 complaints for parking vehicles on the sidewalk during the workday, owner Eric Han told the Brooklyn Eagle. Han says his business has received between 300 – 400 complaints filed through 311 over the last couple of months. Han has been told informally the complaints are all being filed by the same person, and feels the extreme number of them constitutes harassment. “We’ve been part of this neighborhood for more than 50 years and now this one guy is trying to destroy my entire business,” Han said. “All I want is a compromise to survive.” 🔗 Read more at the link in bio.
