Ahead of the Bounce
The NY Times
This cheeky little intro about Prospect Height's eats does nothing to endear residents to The NY Times, and the fact that the Times still doesn't seem to take Ratner's plan seriously.
A new basketball arena for the Nets in Brooklyn came closer to reality this month as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed to sell development rights to the railyard at Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues. One way or another, these little gems nearby in Prospect Heights may feel the impact.
NoLandGrab: The owners of Franny's (295 Flatbush Ave.) probably felt the impact when they realized that their apartment was in the footprint, and that as tenants they would soon to be displaced by Ratner's plan.
