Thank God for this. We now have a reason to live. Borough President Marty Markowitz will be delivering his State of the Borough Address on Thursday, February 12 at 7PM. It will take place at Kingsborough Community College at the Leon M. Goldstein Performing Arts Center, which is located at 2001 Oriental Boulevard in Manhattan Beach. The press release says that “entertainment” starts at 6:45, followed by the bloviations remarks of the Beep at 7. He usually announces a new idea or program during the address, so we have to make sure to keep ourselves alive at least until the 12th. It is totally untrue that Mr. Markowitz will propose the See Ya Red Hook Initiative which would involve demolishing everything in the neighborhood except Ikea and building the galaxy’s biggest indoor shopping center and theme park called Dubai in the Hook.
