I wasn’t referring to you in my post above. I was referring to those that posted that GB’ers were drunks, trash, kids are shit, live in bars, so on and so forth. I didn’t interpret your comments as ‘bashing the beach’ because clearly they were not. Just wanted to clarify.

You don’t live here anymore, you have no right to bash the beach.

Yes, but unfortunately you have those that choose to go on a rant and some of us feel the need to respond and defend. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is what it is.

Well said to comment posted above.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Growing up here and now living here and raising my kids here by choice, I resent being lumped in with those that give GB a bad name because we all aren’t like that. I came from a hard working family and I certainly wasn’t that way as a kid and I forbid my kids to be that way either. I’d open a can of whoop ass if I ever found out my kid was doing half the things talked about on here.

Instead of complaining about the kids misbehaving and hanging out on the streets causing trouble, why don’t some of you wonderful, upstanding adults (that spend there time bad mouthing and arguing here) put some time and effort in to organizing youth groups and activities to keep the kids occupied.

I am reading posts on all subjects on this site because fortunately it is a place to find out important things going on in our neighborhood. It just made me really sad to see how much hatred there is among neighbors in
Gerritsen Beach and how much the kids are put down and talked about like they are just alot of trash. I resent that since I have lived here for 30 years and always found most of the neighbors helpful, friendly and basically good hard working people. I have an 18 year old who does NOT hang out on the avenue, does NOT destroy property or mess up our neighborhood because I WOULD
Break his a– if he did. . When he is out he is either at the movies, skating (ice) , playing some sport or at one of his friends house ( not in the beach). I see this also with other kids on my block and believe that there is a bunch of kids that do hang out in the beach and do the things that everyone complains about but I think it is only a small number of the large amount of kids in this neighborhood, so Please when you talk about GB kids talk about the ones who hang out on the Avenue . DON’T INCLUDE ALL THE KIDS IN GERRITSEN BEACH.
