Bay Ridge Crack House Covered by Blogs, Message Board Busted

June 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Two Bay Ridge drug houses, whose activities have been widely chronicled on the Bay Ridge Talk Message board and by the neighborhood’s large number of blogs has been busted. The buildings were on 93rd Street. Here’s a bit from the Times:

Most neighborhoods in Brooklyn have at least one blog — and in some places, there seems to be one in every house, every bedroom — but not many read like BayRidgeTalk.com, where the subjects over the last year or two veered away from apartment sales and plumbing tips and block parties and sounded more like rat-a-tat police reports. “Fighting and drug deals going down in the driveway of this house,” one person wrote in 2006 about a home steeped in reports of suspicious activity on 93rd Street in Bay Ridge. Another person replied: “I’ve heard loud fighting for almost a year now but did not realize until recently that it’s a crack house.”

The Times seems to confuse message boards and blogs, but the gist of the story remains. There’s also a story in today’s Post.
