The Village Voice Best of 2005

Best Reason to Hang a Banner Out the Window of Your Brooklyn Brownstone
ATLANTIC YARDS PROTEST

Bruce Ratner, go home!Now that the West Side Stadium war is history, the battlefront shifts to Brooklyn where the brownstone troops of the ATLANTIC YARDS PROTEST are rallying against Bruce Ratner's proposed basketball arena over the Atlantic Avenue rail yards. Tell the developer and his good buddy Borough President Marty Markowitz how you feel about eminent-domain abuse with a front-stoop slogan cooked up by your neighbors:
"Ratner, go home and plunder Cleveland."
"Supersize Brooklyn? Fuhgeddaboudit."
