The casino promises transit upgrades and discounted subway rides, but many residents and business owners aren’t buying it. Is this the kind of change Coney Island really needs, or is it just a flashy promise that could make life harder for everyone who calls this place home? #News #ConeyIsland #Brooklyn00Share

Judith Nelson+FollowOlympic pool could transform Brooklyn lifeImagine having a year-round, Olympic-sized pool right at Floyd Bennett Field—just minutes from Rockaway and Brooklyn neighborhoods. Local leaders are pushing hard for this, saying it would finally give families and kids a safe, accessible place to learn to swim, train, and compete. With so many living near the water but lacking proper swim facilities, this could be a game-changer for water safety and community health. Plus, it could help solve the ongoing lifeguard shortage by offering local training. What do you think—would an indoor pool make a difference for your family or neighborhood? #Sports #Brooklyn #Rockaway00Share
