BABE RUTH’S B’KLYN DODGER UNIFORM IS UP FOR AUCTION BOROUGHWIDE — Baseball great Babe Ruth is known for his years of stardom as a player, first with the Boston Red Sox and then with the New York Yankees. But Ruth spent one year as a first-base coach with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1938, ac- cording to Atlas Obscura. Following his retirement in 1934, Ruth had been angling unsuccessfully for a job as manager or coach with the Yankees, and when the opportunity to coach at Ebbets Field presented itself, Ruth eagerly accepted. Unfortu- nately, Ruth constantly got into quarrels with the team’s star shortstop, Leo Durocher, and the two came to blows in the clubhouse in October. The team sided with Durocher, who be- came player-manager the next year, Atlas Obscura reported. Ruth’s Dodger uniform is being auctioned by Culver City, Cali- fornia-based Julien’s Auctions and is estimated to be worth be- tween $200,000 and $400,000. SOME ELECTION WORKERS ARE DRIVEN IN BLACK CARS CITYWIDE —Some Board of Election workers are chauffeured around town in black cars to the tune of $9 million in public funds, according to the New York Post. More than 25 of the pricey cars were parked outside the Brooklyn BOE building on Adams Street last week, while another 20 were parked at the BOE’s Queens site. Several drivers were spotted by the Post napping in their cars or watching TV on their phones before they were called on to drive. The average election inspector who works behind a desk, of course, does not get a limo.

The entire family sings well, but there were some works that suit- ed their voices more harmoniously than others. Among these were Lasso’s madrigal “Landsknechstandchen,” the German folk song “In Einem Kuhlen Grunde,” and all the Austrian folk songs, the Praetorius and the Bach, in an evening of consistently good singing. The phenomenon of the instrumental playing was as unusu- al as the Trapp Family itself so that their concert contained a unique element. If family circles of the Renaissance period were as expert as this group, then home life for them had its joyous moments. Such were the impressions left by a performance of this musical family which thus presents its unpremeditated art.

Continued from page 2 “The biggest concern people have as they age is the cost of aging and the risks that go along with it,” said Ricaforte. “Not a lot of people know about it so these expos are tremendous in spreading the knowledge that people need to understand all their options for themselves and their families. That’s why it’s so important to get the word out. All these vendors here can help all of us as we age,” added Ricaforte. Walker discussed the benefits of medical marijuana. “Columbia Care is a medical mari- juana dispensary,” he explained. “It is a legiti- mate option for your healthcare. What we do for every patient who comes in is talk to you about your medications and past medical histo- ry so that we can understand what’s going on with all the symptoms you’re looking to treat.” He further explained, “If you have aches and pains and are taking over-the-counter medications, this is another option to replace some of those medications or add to them to help ease your aches and pains.” Williams was the last to speak.

A number of vendors had participated in earlier expos. “It’s good to be back at the sen- ior fair,” said Louis Peters of United Healthcare - AMP Insurance Brokerage, 7709 Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge. “This is a wonderful program where we can see all the vendors.

YOU CAN FIND THEM BY STROLLING DOWN COLONIAL ROAD
By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn Everybody’s in love with the Bronx step street where Joaquin Phoenix dances in “Joker.” Did you know Bay Ridge has two of them? One’s on 74th Street and the other’s on 76th Street. You can stroll down Colonial Road to find them — and do some dancing of your own without needing to elbow your way through all the visitors on the Joker’s Bronx stairs. Colonial Road stretches from the top of Bay Ridge to nearly the bottom of the neighborhood. When you walk down it, besides the iconic step streets, you’ll find a representative mix of southwest Brooklyn housing stock. There are big suburban-style homes with large lawns, semi-attached houses on deep lots, century-old limestone rowhouses and a handful of apartment buildings. Hey Joker, Bay Ridge has two step streets you might like to dance down. They’re just off Colonial Road.
Colonial Road starts at the intersection of Wakeman Place.

Colonial Road deserves a lot of love as well. And if you walk Bay Ridge has numerous block-long streets. In 2018, I there, you can detour into Owl’s Head Park. photographed all of them. One good way to get to Colonial Road is by riding the NYC Ferry. Its landing dock on the 69th Street Pier (aka American Veterans Memorial Pier) is just a few blocks away from Colonial LOTS OF TUDOR ROWHOUSES Road’s starting point at the intersection of Wakeman Place. Or take the R train to its Bay Ridge Avenue stop. Colonial Road is scenic and serene. Hardly any of the buildings have storefronts. THANK YOU, ELIPHALET W.

I took a lot more photos than I’m showing you in this story. So it took me a while to get to the corner of 74th Street, which is where the block with one of Bay Ridge’s step streets is located. The block is to your left as you walk down Colonial Road. On either side of the street, there are flat-faced rowhouses with distinctive stone lintels above the windows and decorative stonework below the windows. Next to the front stoops, there are terraces surrounded by low walls. Generously sized front yards stand in front of the terraces. Some of the houses have retractable awnings. Some of the homeowners are flying American flags. The leaves are autumnal red on the tree in front of the Colonial Road corner house, whose address is 101 74th St. The best vantage point for looking at these lovely houses is half-way up the staircase. If you were taking a lunch break, you’d walk all the way up the stairs and head for Third Avenue. White beech trees that were nicknamed “the Twelve Apostles” were torn down to clear the site of the 74th Street staircase, an informative post on the news and culture blog Hey Ridge says. The staircase was constructed in the 1930s. THE 76TH STREET STEP STREET
I kept walking on Colonial Road. I was afraid it might rain and short-circuit my plan to take photos on every block. You can see Upper New York Bay from this hill in Owl’s Head Park INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan THE KINGS COUNTY INEBRIATE ASYLUM
Further along, you’ll notice the handsome stand-alone houses on 85th Street just east of the Colonial Road intersection. Then you’ll get to the intersection of 86th Street — which is of course the road that takes you to L&B Spumoni Gardens in Gravesend if you keep walking and walking. Down on the corner of 88th Street, there’s a big, gorgeous stucco house painted creamy yellow. Except it’s actually a duplex. The home right on the corner is 8723 Colonial Road. The other side of the property, which is painted a slightly different color and has shutters on its upstairs windows, is 8719 Colonial Road. At the next Colonial Road intersection, the flowers at 8824 Colonial Road are still blooming. Between 90th and 91st streets, tremendous trees tower over a wall that surrounds the grounds of Visitation Academy. The entrance to the school is on Ridge Boulevard. Did you know the property on which the academy was built was formerly the site of the Kings County Inebriate Asylum? There are apartment buildings and a short row of houses on Colonial Road’s final block, which is between 91st and 92nd Streets. After this trek, you’ll probably want a bite to eat. If you turn left onto 92nd Street and walk to Third Avenue, there are a zillion places for coffee, snacks and meals. Paneantico, a popular Italian cafe that makes excellent hero sandwiches, is right on the corner of 92nd and Third. When you need to go home, the 95th Street R-train station is on nearby Fourth Avenue. This is Bay Cliff Terrace, whose entrance is on 68th Street near the intersection of Colonial Road
