For fun they made a stop at the controversial Jane’s Carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Max just enjoyed the ride and the YouTube clip shot by his wife/co-host Stacy Herbert of the Keiser Report host’s spin has already racked up over 1500 views.

Considering his outspokenness, we’re sure a clip of his thoughts regarding the entire financing of Brooklyn Bridge Park would garner thousands more.

Sandy Help for Jane’s Carousel Comes via Bake Sale on Sunday (11/11)http://brooklynbugle.com/2012/11/08/sandy-help-for-janes-carousel-comes-via-bake-sale-on-sunday-1111/ http://brooklynbugle.com/2012/11/08/sandy-help-for-janes-carousel-comes-via-bake-sale-on-sunday-1111/#comments Thu, 08 Nov 2012 02:47:37 +0000 http://brooklynheightsblog.com/?p=51547 (via Brooklyn Heights Blog)

One of the most shared photos of Superstorm Sandy’s wrath in Brooklyn last week was of Jane’s Carousel in DUMBO surrounded by flood waters. We learned on Tuesday that its lovingly restored horses, benches and woodwork made it through the storm with little or no damage. However, Jane Walentas noted, “the basement that houses all the electronics was totally flooded.” She added, “We’re optimistic that the Carousel will be fine, but it will probably take some time to get it fully restored to happily prancing again.”

BHB received word from area resident Megan Reilly Cayten that she and a “group of parents and kids who love the carousel” will be holding a bake sale this Sunday (11/11) from 11am – 1pm to help raise funds for the carousel’s restoration.

Cayten tells us that Ms. Walentas was “touched” by the idea for the event and will be opening the carousel’s building to the group so they can stay warm while holding the fundraiser.

The carousel is reportedly in working condition but its organ and the electronics which power it need to be replaced. The immediate goal of the bake sale is to raise $175 dollars, Cayten says, to cover the cost of a CD player they’ll need to replace the organ until it is back in working condition.

Jane’s Carousel opened in its current location in September 2011 amidst controversy regarding its placement in Brooklyn Bridge Park. It is currently maintained by the non-profit group Friends of Jane’s Carousel.

This just in from Jane Walentas: The horses are fine!

The wooden Carousel & horses as well as the building, are all fine. Unfortunately, however, The basement that houses all the electronics was totally flooded- 5ft. of water. As soon as we can pump it out we ‘ll assess the damage. We’re optimistic that the Carousel will be fine, but it will probably take some time to get it fully restored to happily prancing again.

BBP Pool To Open Soon; Benepe Leaving Parks Departmenthttp://brooklynbugle.com/2012/06/19/bbp-pool-to-open-soon-benepe-leaving-parks-department/ http://brooklynbugle.com/2012/06/19/bbp-pool-to-open-soon-benepe-leaving-parks-department/#comments Tue, 19 Jun 2012 04:06:27 +0000 http://brooklynheightsblog.com/?p=42628 (via Brooklyn Heights Blog)

The “temporary” swimming pool (we understand it will be around for five years) located just inland of Pier 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park (see photo, taken from Promenade) is, according to Brownstoner, likely to open even sooner than a projected June 28 date. Stay tuned.

In other parks related news, the Wall Street Journal reports that City Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe, seen here riding the lead horse on the first official spin of Jane’s Carousel, and here with Brooklyn Heights Association President Jane McGroarty at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy’s “Sunset Bhangra” party, is resigning to become head of the San Francisco based Trust for Public Land. Mr. Benepe served as Commissioner for ten years. Mayor Bloomberg has announced that Veronica M. White, now head of the City’s Center for Economic Opportunity, will be his successor.
