Courier Life: Brooklyn Through Ratner-Colored Glasses
Courier Life Publications takes great care to let you know they support Atlantic Yards by confusing the entire project with just the 10% part of it that involves an arena.
Discover the entire length and breadth of your borough, just by taking a walk
In a listing of a tour presented by the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment (BCUE):
April 15 from 1-3 p.m., there is A Meet and Greet Tour of Fort Greene. Long before there was a Central Park or a Prospect Park, there was Fort Greene Park (the vision of Walt Whitman). The area around the park is a neighborhood in stark contrast: a house that goes back to 1812, a church that was a stop on the Underground Railroad, and the proposed new Atlantic Yards Stadium.
(see, BCUE's own listing shows understanding that Atlantic Yards isn't merely a stadium:
Long before there was a Central Park or a Prospect Park, there was Fort Greene Park (the brainchild of Walt Whitman). We’ll see a house that dates back to 1812, a church that was a stop on the Underground Railroad, and the site for the proposed Atlantic Yards Project. No other Brooklyn community can claim writers, musicians, designers, film makers and visual artists with such a rich and varied history. Visit an artist studio and the MOCADA museum, the historic district surrounding the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and end at Dekalb Avenue’s Restaurant.
- Meet at Fulton Street and Greene Avenue in front of Cuyler Gore Park. Take the C to Lafayette Avenue or Q/2/3/4 to Atlantic Avenue. Walk east towards Hanson Place to Cuyler Gore Park.
