Brooklyn’s LIRR
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle
By John Manbeck
A must-read for Brooklynites who are train buffs contains an interesting turn of the phrase:
But the LIRR has been an important cog in our rail system. It is the longest and the oldest railroad operating under its original name as well as the nation’s busiest commuter railroad. Now the Atlantic Avenue Terminal is undergoing a $93 million renovation and reconstruction due for completion in 2008, making it an important hub in the inevitable Atlantic Yards project.
NoLandGrab: Interesting how democracy wasn't "inevitable" — many lost their lives for the cause, many still do — but Atlantic Yards IS.
