A humbling encounter with a (civilian) reader
Atlantic Yards Report
I assume that most readers of this blog have a keen interest in the Atlantic Yards project, whether they be concerned local residents, government or organizational officials, people who work with the developer, or the press.But earlier this week, at a bank in Park Slope, I encountered someone far less invested. She told me she'd noticed my op-ed in the print edition of Monday's Metro, which was accompanied by my photo.
Me What did you think?
She: Well, I didn't finish it.
Me: It was only 500 words.
She: I'm not much of a reader.
The lesson, as a reader reminds me: very few people, even Brooklynites, have an informed opinion of the Atlantic Yards project.
