It came from the Blogosphere...
Queen's Crap, Revenge of the Clown
One comment before quoting "mole 333's" article on Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz's threats to clean house at Community Board 6:
Don't like Atlantic Yards? Well then, you're off the community board!
Kinetic Carnival, Ratner & Gehry Eyeing Coney Again?
Recently, the NY Post’s Page Six reported that Bruce Ratner and Frank Gehry were spotted eating hot dogs at Nathan’s in Coney Island. Speculation began to resurface as to the possibility of them scoping out Coney for the Nets stadium. ...
Some time ago, Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn (who made the case for the Nets arena in Coney) submitted a locational analysis of the arena in Coney Island as comment on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). Despite it probably being an obstruction for the nearby property proposed for residential buildings by Taconic Investments - amusement preservationists would also find it an obstruction that does not fit in with what they wish for in the area. It seems nobody wants the arena. Let’s hope if the Nets are being considered for Coney again – that this does not become a battle between North and South Brooklynytes.
Objectiva 3, A very important post!
No commentary, just a link directly to Norman Oder's "very important" article, "What the Village Voice was to the Washington Square battle, the blogs are to Atlantic Yards."
Brownstoner, House of the Day: 129 South Oxford Street
Two negatives for a house listed for $2.2 million:
First, the backyard basically looks out on Fulton Street and therefore ain't the most private retreat; second, while we think the refrain of "Atlantic Yards Effect" is overused and won't have any real impact on the part of Fort Greene that's north of Fulton, this place is pretty darn close to ground zero.
