It came from the Blogosphere...
Brownstoner, Gowanus / Atlantic
From time to time, a prospective home buyer solicits opinions about moving near the Atlantic Yards footprint. Today, it's on 3rd Ave.
We're considering making an offer on a sweet new-construction condo on 3rd Ave. near Pacific. What do y'all think of the property values there over the next few years? Wise decision? Will Gowanus boom? Or will the Atlantic Yards prove problematic?
The Daily Pube, Sickening
One blogger's lamentation casts Atlantic Yards as the posterchild for bulldozing the Lost City:
Today I found out my favorite neighborhood watering hole is also going the way of the Dodo. There is really nothing any of us can do. Just look at all the groups trying to stop Forest City Ratner from building the Atlantic Yards project.
Kristina sent me the link to a brilliant blog called The Lost City. This guy talks about all that is wrong with the direction in which New York City is going. Visit this site. Comment. Do your part to try to save NYC, or to at least make some noise about it.
Web Metrics Guru, America's Top 10 Neighborhoods for Bloggers
Blogger Marshall Sponder checks out Oustide.in's list of America's Top 10 Bloggiest Neighborhoods.
OK, I did not realize that someone was keeping track of the best neighborhood to live in if your blogging - I guess some one is .... Outside.in.
...
But what is really interesting is that 2 of the top 10 neighborhoods for blogging are actually in New York City, 1. Clinton Hill, Brooklyn and 8. Harlem, NY. You can also drill down further.For example, the top tags for my zip code in Brooklyn are: atlantic yards atlantic yards fight brooklyn brooklyn paper development environment events music news postcard from the slope real estate
It would be nice if the tag changed for every neighborhood - it does not change much or at all for mine and Park Slope. Not a big deal for the tags to be that different but it might be important down the line.
