.....THIS IS THE CLOSES I GOT TO FISHING.....YESTERDAY, A KID CAME OFF THIS NICE BOAT WITH SOME OTHER KIDS, AND WAS CHASING THE SMALLER ONES WITH THIS POOR DEAD FISH>

BAY RIDGE BACK IN THE DAY WAS CALLED 'YELLOW HOOK' DUE TO THE WATER BY SHORE ROAD...AND THE FISHING

WE JUST HAD CONDOS BUILT ON THE BLOCK & THEY ARE CALLED 'YELLOW HOOK' CONDOS. THEY ARE REALLY PRETTY

...WOW PATSY.....I NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE...."YELLOW HOOK"

.....WHERE WAS I?

......AND WHAT "BACK IN THE DAY" DAY WAS THAT?

ALSO, A NEW RESTAURANT OPENED UP ON OVINGTON & THIRD...KNOWN FOR IT'S FISH..GREAT FOOD..THEY NAMED IT 'YELLOW HOOK'


WE ATE THERE SEVERAL TIMES...BEAUTIFUL RESTAURANT W/OUTDOOR
SEATING IN BACK AND LIKE I SAID EXCELLENT FOOD

IT IS WHERE 'LENTOS' RESTAURANT USED TO BE

When I hear Promenade, I think of the Court Street area, lol.

..NOW,I FEEL HUNGREY,TOO

......CAN I HAVE TUNA FOR BREAKFAST?

I'M NOT SURE WHEN THEY CHANGED THE NAME TO 'BAY RIDGE' BUT I READ UP ON IT IN A BOOK ABOUT BAY RIDGE...SOME OF MY ELDERLY NEIGHBORS REMEMBER IT BEING 'YELLOW HOOK' TOO

RUMOR HAS IT, THEY MAY CHANGE IT BACK TO 'YELLOW HOOK' ONE DAY

...BRAN FLAKES,GRAPEFRUIT, AND TUNA.........NAH...I DON'T THINK SO
