Mailing spotlights Ridge Hill
The Journal News
by Michael Gannon
The folks in Yonkers are waiting to receive their brochure touting the benefits of Ratner's controversial real estate deal, Ridge Hill Village. FCR VP and Brooklyn resident Bruce Bender says that the mailing is a way to directly communicate with Yonkers residents and, "let people start discussing this on its merits."
NoLandGrab: Dubbed "Liar Flyer I & II" by Nets arena detractors, Central Brooklynites have been treated to two mailings from Forest City Ratner. The slogan, "Live, Work, Play" (ironically the same as Corcoran Real Estate's latest campaign) has become sort of a mantra. Does it define the times as well as "Turn on, tune in, drop out," did for the hippie generation? May we live, work and play long enough to find out.
