@JustinBrannan This one hits hard. I was there often; they were always busy - line out the door. Plus, they supplied bread to other businesses. I’d like to imagine they will happily retire…or sell the business to their employees like Ugly Baby / Hungry Thirsty (which is as good as ever).
Was Sabastian Sawe’s world record not even the craziest marathon performance of the day?? 🤯
Vincent Mauri ran his first marathon the Glass City Marathon in Toledo, OH, this morning… and won in 2:05:54, becoming only the fourth American ever to break 2:06.
The 25-year-old @NDXCTF and @SunDevilTFXC alum won by 15 MINUTES running solo on a USATF-certified course. Mauri finished his collegiate career in 2025 with PBs of 3:59.05 (mile), 7:50.33 (3000m), and 13:34.03 (5000m).
BREAKING: PGA Tour announces welcome back party for LIV players tonight on the 9th green at 9pm. Players have also been advised to dress nice for the occasion.
@Streetfilms@StreetsblogNYC@TransAlt Thanks for bringing attention to this. While I am glad for the important progress on the canal cleanup, the inoperable status of this bridge has persisted beyond what is reasonable. A sense of urgency is required to return it to working order.
@CMShahanaHanif You or staff should please walk (not drive) Union St between 3rd Ave and 5th Ave. Strewn with trash, and it appears the car repair garages are using the public sidewalks to park damaged cars. These important businesses should be held to an appropriate standard.
@CMShahanaHanif congrats on the Primary. You or staff should walk Carroll St between Bond and Gowanus Canal. It appears someone is squatting. Please hold Code Enforcement, NYPD, and construction crews to a higher standard. This area faces a daycare and is frequently soiled.
@CMShahanaHanif Thank you. I have flagged this previously to your staff and it gets rectified for a short time. So, thank you for that. However, the trash always reappears.
@CMShahanaHanif You or staff from your office should walk (not drive) Union St (near your office) between Bond and 4th Ave. Frequently strewn with trash and evidence of people sleeping rough. Please hold Code Enforcement, NYPD, and construction crews to a higher standard.
🚨 ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER WORLD RECORD FALLS 🚨
Jacob Kiplimo just shattered and took back the half marathon world record, clocking a 56:41 at the eDreams Mitja Marató Barcelona in Spain! He is the first man in history to break 57 minutes. That averages out to 4:19 per mile for 13.1 miles. 💨
That’s 49 seconds faster than the previous WR— the biggest improvement ever on the men’s half marathon mark. 🤯 Oh, and he also set a 15K world record (39:47) on the way.
Kiplimo is getting ready to make his marathon debut in London in April.
@BrooklynCB6@CMShahanaHanif Thank you CM Hanif and CB6. I agree, but there is more progress to be made. I encourage more progress on trash/litter buildup around construction sites, unkept/overgrown sidewalk areas, and graffiti buildup. These QOL issues shouldn’t be minimized and are best seen while walking.
@CMShahanaHanif CM Hanif, I encourage you/staff to walk Third St from Bond to Fifth Ave. In addition to this sad vandalism, you’ll see most walls and sidewalks covered with graffiti, trash, or overgrown plants. Please use your influence to increase code enforcement, cleanup, and police patrols.
@CMShahanaHanif Hello Council Member Hanif. I encourage you/staff to walk Bond from Butler to Union. Take a left to proceed down Union to Third Ave. You will see the amount of sidewalk consumed by construction, and the filth/garbage/abandoned vehicles. I hope your office can facilitate cleanup.
