Yes, there are "Weegies" in Bay Ridge. Next Septumaya (Weegie Independance Day) parade (always around the 7th of May) try it out. The parade ends at Leif Erikson park and post-celebration libations are traditional at the Leif Erikson Tavern. As we approach "Columbus Day", don't forget the true story: http://www.lawzone.com/half-nor/swearinger.htm

I didn't know Norweigians were in Bay Ridge? They wear wife beaters, too?

another example of racism. Tax-payer funded hispanic education is fine, but korean education is not. btw, why don't we have tax-payer funded translators for norwegian people? Isn't that discrimination?
