Historically Speaking: June 28, Marty, Ambassador extraordinaire
Brooklyn Eagle
By John Manbeck
Marty, our fearless borough president, took a risk but one that I think he should have taken long ago.
'Nuff said in a glowing article about Marty's adventure on the high seas as a celebrity guest lecturer, our peerless borough president declares that Brooklyn's extraordinary diversity will be surpassed by Atlantic Yards (really).
I asked what he told his audience was Brooklyn’s glory. He said, “its diversity.”
And what will it be when you leave office? “Atlantic Yards."
NoLandGrab: As long as we're "historically speaking," Atlantic Yards won't be ready in 2009 when Marty leaves office.
