Battle lines drawn over Nets arena in Brooklyn
Walkathon coverage in Metro by Amy Zimmer:
A few hundred Brooklynites — many with dogs, strollers or bikes in tow — marched yesterday around the footprint where Bruce Ratner plans to build 17 skyscrapers and an arena for the Nets basketball team.
They processed behind a marching band playing a mournful rendition of “America the Beautiful” and they raised a “Don’t tread on Brooklyn” flag in front of Freddy’s, a local bar that is the epicenter for anti-arena dissent and a structure slated for demolition under the plan.
