"No Demolition for Parking," but Will Persuasion or Court Action Do the Trick?
Brooklyn Downtown Star
Norman Oder files this fashion report from last weekend's rally:
While presumably everyone attending supported the rally's stated purpose, some went further. Perhaps half the attendees wore either the orange BrooklynSpeaks t-shirts given out at the door or the purple shirts of marshals reserved for event organizers. Meanwhile, a few dozen people came in DDDB shirts, but the majority of attendees avoided logos.
Included are quotes from speeches by the Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council's Gib Veconi, City Councilmembers Letitia James, Bill de Blasio and David Yassky, Reverend Clinton Miller, and State Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries, and a response from Forest City Executive VP Bruce Bender.
