How Is a Park Slope Seder Different From All Other Seders?
Daily Intelligencer
For the second year, Rose Water in Park Slope held a seder with Leather Tomato's remix of the "Four Questions."
As printed in the handout Haggadah:
• Why is the Atlantic Yards project different from all other real-estate development projects?
• Why is it that this entire section of Brooklyn consists of unleavened low-rise buildings, but at Atlantic Yards Bruce Ratner wants to build seventeen high-rise buildings?
• Why is it that in all other projects the community would be happy for a real-estate developer to bring them "jobs, housing and hoops," but in this project some members of the community are bitter?
• Why is it that in all other projects the buildings stand straight, but in Frank Gehry's designs for the Atlantic Yards project, the buildings recline to one side? — to be read by the youngest real-estate developer at the Seder with the shortest hair.
Gawker, When Ratner was in Brooklyn Land...
"Insanity," another environmental impact of Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards plan:
We know this has been around a bit already, but we couldn't resist noting the anti-Bruce Ratner Passover Haggadah ("for an Atlantic Yardseder") that's been circulating for the last few days. Because, hey, if this doesn't say, "Oh no, we're totally not a bunch of barely sane kvetchers," we don't know what does.
