Now, well over seven years have passed, and...there's not a lot to bayridge.com.
There's
- an event calendar that does have some school information on it.
- A Guestbook which seems to be populated by a lot of people who moved to Jersey years ago and who write in to say that they remember the Alpine Theater
- a This Day in History thing that tells me that Oklahoma became a state 47 years ago
- Click onto news, news, news, and you see...nothing
- There are ten old pictures of the neighborhood, which are ok.
That's it? That's it.
Bayridge.com I believe is connected to the Home Reporter newspaper. This newspaper, though small, has some resources and should be able to put out a better website than this. Bay Ridge is a good neighborhood, and it deserves a better website than bayridge.com Even this stinking web site is better!!

Ha - I actually stumbled upon it by typing in BayRidge.com a year or two back; I suppose for late 19th century web-design, it's OK ;-)
The old pictures of the neighborhood are pretty cool, though. There's a book that B&N used to carry; I forgot the title but it had a pretty great lot of photos; including 4th ave when it was still a cowpath.
Just found this blog off of a Chowhound post. While bayridge.com is somewhat lame, you MUST at least acknowledge that there is a message board where cranky people discuss neighborhood goings on.
I've gotten a priceless recommendation for a car mechanic through it, as well as one for my dentist.
I have to agree with you. I check BayRidge.com now and then and it's always a disappointment. I would think our neighborhood could do a lot better.
