Preparations for the demolition of Bay Ridge’s beloved Green Church appear underway, as scheduled, with demolition sheeting cloaking a backhoe beginning the painstaking work of exhuming 211 bodies buried in a crypt on church grounds.

Meanwhile: Committee to Save the Green Church chairperson, Kathy Walker, and local preservationist, Victoria Hofmo – who’ve both lead the ‘effort’ to save the Church – are apparently being sidelined by rank and file among the Bay Ridge Community Council, who, at their last meeting, were shouted down after Hofmo’s presentation to the civic group.

Walker and Hofmo – the self-appointed leaders of Bay Ridge’s preservation movement – bet their entire campaign on their ability to, literally, drum up awareness for this important community issue with weekend ‘protest’ marches, such as the one’s covered by local lampoon filmmakers, Bay Rizz.

Lefty has more on the Gentile two-step, and what we can expect after the congregation fulfills their contractual obligation.
