Fort Hamilton is my neighborhood for over 20 years. I love my community, patronize as many…read morerestaurants, libraries, markets, parks, etc. The important word is community, neighbors look out for neighbors and there is a wonderful vibe here. We have an abundance of parks; Shore Road, Leif Erickson, John Paul Jones and Owl's Head to name a few. Great for families to enjoy a day at the park. Our community outreach is top notch; Salvation Army, Bay Ridge Community Center. Our schools also are impactful, Fort Hamilton High, Xaverian, William McKinley Our restaurants offer diversity from Italian ( Campania, Brooklyn Roots) to Indian ( Mint Bay) to Mexican ( Coszcal de Allende) to Chinese ( Rose Bowl); these are a few of my favorites. If you love to golf Dyker Heights is a great place to tee off as well as utilize as a venue for special events. And our City Councilman, Justin Brennan and Senator Andrew Gounardes always have Bay Ridgians' best interests at heart. Today as a community we gathered to remember our veterans who served via the 158th Memorial Day parade. I'm sharing some photos from today to show how strong our community is in Fort Hamilton. If you haven't visited Bay Ridge, please come and Welcome!

The service is alright, nothing worth noting. Lines can get long. I never really see more than 2 cashiers going -- it moves fast, though. I've also used the facility's gym. It's pretty nice... I was surprised. Clean, neat, not noisy and not busy. Just how I like it. You need a military ID to get in. If you bring a civilian as a guest, make sure they have their ID on them to use the gym. I like this place because it's pretty clean and updated compared to other places I've been to.

The Air Force Reserve is an exciting way to expand your…read moreexperience and serve your country while being able to choose where you live and work. Most Reserve positions are part-time, which allows you the time and flexibility to pursue your civilian career or continue your education. The Air Force Reserve also offers a variety of educational assistance programs that make the ever-increasing cost of education affordable. Job training and opportunities exist in the Reserve that will prepare you for exciting new careers, including high-tech fields such as space, cyber, intelligence and many others. To further expand your civilian job opportunities, you can receive college credits for technical training. In addition, you will enjoy the camaraderie, friendships and new experiences that are an integral part of military service. Reservists in the Unit Program, as a minimum, train one weekend a month, when their unit performs a Unit Training Assembly (UTA), plus an Annual Tour of two weeks.

This library is wonderful for its convenient location to me as a person who lives closer to fort…read moreHamilton side of bay ridge than the bay ridge side of bay ridge. The staff is always helpful and I appreciate the work that they do! That said, this location is frequently not ideal for studying or staying long periods of time, as this is a very noisy library. Unlike the Bay Ridge branch which has two floors, one of which is the children's section, this location has only one floor, leaving the entire library functioning as a daycare, and sometime harbinger of noisy, angry eccentric adults who want to yell at the library staff. I'm glad the library can offer their service to the community for free, but for studying, this particular location is not ideal. My main gripe with this location is that, unlike the Bay Ridge branch, they do not have a functional drop-off for library materials outside the building, which means if the library is closed you *cannot drop off your library materials there*-- you've been warned!

This library is pretty small, but it has outlets so it's great to come here and do some work or…read morestudying. The kids areas are right next to those tables though, so it can get very distracting. Bathrooms used to be a little musty, but it's cleaner now. There are some desks for people to use the library's computers so that's a great service for the community. Also serves as a cooling station (as do most libraries in the summer). I do wish this library was bigger, but the Bay Ridge one is larger but oddly felt just a little less personal. So I really do like this place.

I've also run across it during the NYC Marathon a bunch of times which is always a thrill. Always fun to view as you get closer to it and also realize how gigantic it really is. An engineering marvel. Interesting fact - the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge central span was the longest of any suspension bridge in the world until the Humber Bridge was completed in 1981. The bridge has the 18th-longest main span in the world, as well as the longest in the Americas. Also, the bridge collects tolls in both directions which makes me happy to not own a car and have to commute on it every day Staten Island to Brooklyn and back.

I've only been here once as I do prefer to bring my child to the Bay Ridge Location because of the set up. But my impressions are that the staff is very accommodating and are ready to help when necessary. It seems to be much quieter than the BR Location so, if you do need a quiet space for study, this would be the right location.

Collections contacted me 3 yrs after sevice. I.C.Q. Search and Recovery refused to speak w/ med. insurance. The letter addressed a charge for services in 2015 for the amount of $$$$. I found the bill I received. I had called the billing department with my medical insurance information in 2015 which PathologyInc/WCCL already had since they had submitted claims for other services in 2015. I never received another bill. after I called PathologhyInc/WCCL According to my then insurance, a claim was not submitted for the date in question. My insurance informed me if PathologyInc/WCCL did not submit within a year, they will not pay. My insurance requested that PathologyInc/WCCL resubmit with proof of timely filing; or have the PathologyInc/WCCL call my insurance. I called the collection agency I.C.Q., they refused to relay the information to PathologyInc/WCCL since the claim was not submitted within a year of service. I.C.Q. requested I submit the claim or pay the bill since it was my fault PathologyInc/WCCL did not submit the claim. I informed them I called PathologyInc/WCCL billing with my insurance information on date in 2015. I wrote the date and what information I gave them. I failed to write down the name of the operator. The I.C.Q. (Amber) said that I could be making up the information - without the name they cannot look at their 2015 logs to verify. Amber stated she will give me an extension of 60 days so GEHA could process the claim I SUBMIT. I did not bother to ask them to call GEHA at this point. The I.C.Q. (Amber) stated PathologyInc/WCCL sent 3 statements in all within 4 weeks of the service; the last one being my final notice which was received 25 days after service. I only received the last one and called the billing department with insurance info. Since I did not hear from them, I thought they were paid.
