EMINENT DOMAINIA: The Big Apple Bites

The NY Times, Bracing for the Lion
Columbia is marching ahead with expansion plans that will destroy the Manhattanville neighborhood that stands in the way.
NoLandGrab: Curiously, while the Times quotes Atlantic Yards developer Bruce Ratner's figures of 15,000 construction jobs (that's 1,500 jobs over 10 years), they use the less deceptive "1,200 construction jobs a year for two decades" in this article. Now that we know they know the difference, it will be interesting to see if the Gray Lady does in the future.

Duffield St. Underground, Newly Released Evidence of Buildings Communicating
Despite AKRF's denials, it certainly looks to me that the basement of 227 Duffield used to have a passageway connecting it to 225 Duffield. I have posted images and a video that show that most of the basement was constructed with stone, except for a small portion on the front part of the northern wall.
Check out the video.
