Brooklyn Tweets of the Week: Wizkid, vicious squirrels, and a new bike lane

A roundup of (some of) our favorite locally sourced tweets for the week ending September 17

This week was a good one, judging by your tweets. Wizkid’s Celebrate Brooklyn! performance destroyed in Prospect Park … in a good way, a vicious squirrel was on the loose in Carroll Gardens, and the Brooklyn Bridge (finally) got a bike lane (such as it is?).

If you see something, say something: Be sure to tag us if you see anything that should be noted next week. Have a great weekend! Get out there while it’s still summer …

Saw Wizkid perform at Prospect Park. I’m good on concerts for another year.

When we talk about the mean streets of Carroll Gardens, this is what we mean. It ain’t for everyone. pic.twitter.com/ReJkJo7G7E

After decades of advocacy, the Brooklyn Bridge bike lane is now open! Thank you to @NYC_DOT and all of the @TransAlt @bridges4people #bikenyc and other advocates who fought to make this happen. Now, onto the next one! #bridges4people pic.twitter.com/bx30WFoXMK

If you’d asked me a decade ago which prime Williamsburg stores would still be open in 2021, there’s just no way my money would have been on “Mikey’s Hook Up”

I walked through park slope last weekend after going to Prospect Park and it was very funny to see single-owner brownstones with “we welcome all in this home” knowing they pay security patrols to keep the homeless out of the area
