Atlantic Center mall vs. Atlantic Terminal mall
The Times can't tell (and why it matters)
TimesRatnerReport
Yesterday's NY Times published a photo in the Business section, misindentifying the Atlantic Terminal Mall as the Atlantic Center Mall.
This got TimesRatnerReporter Norman Oder thinking about the difference between the two (hint: the serious eyesore is the Center Mall and the "Toaster" is the Terminal Mall).
Who cares? Well, it matters to Bruce Ratner, and consequently, Brooklyn.
Oder isn't just commenting about the difference between bad and really bad architecture here — the distinction means another million-plus square feet of development in addition to the Atlantic Yards project, as described in the "undisclosed" MOU. Which leaves Brooklynites to wonder, will the Empire State Development Corporation even consider the impact of the additional development in its Environmental Impact Statement for the Atlantic Yards proposal?
