Prospect Heights to media, "'Atlantic Yards' is a project proposal, not a place"
From Denis Hamill's Daily News column on next week's Coney Island Beach Volleyball tournament (emphasis added):
So when Armato was approached by Chris Brahe of Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment - a division of Bruce Ratner's Nets organization that plans to build an arena and housing complex at the Atlantic Yards - to erect a temporary 4,000-seat arena on Bay 21 in Coney Island, he, um, jumped at it.
NoLandGrab: Last we checked, "Atlantic Yards" was a project proposed for the Vanderbilt Railyards and 14 acres of Prospect Heights and Park Slope, not an actual place.
In all fairness, Denis Hamill is a columnist and can't be expected to follow current events across the entire city. That's why press kits are so handy.
And while we have your attention, don't forget: the place that "Atlantic Yards" isn't, is not in Downtown Brooklyn.
