"The fat lady has not sung yet"
Duffield St. Underground
The Brooklyn Papers just published "Down on Duffield," which looks at the two most prominent owners who have been fighting eminent domain in Downtown Brooklyn. The article suggests that one owner still wants to fight and the other, Lewis Greenstein, is finally ready to give up.Lew wrote the following Letter to the Editor in response to the article:
The above statement got the drift of what I said to the reporter. But after 3 1/2 years have been lied to, you get tired and depressed of all the abuse. Bloomberg who in the process of selling the NYC to the developers and the city has deep pockets and they have worn us down. I will not sell to the city, but if I have my way, someone will come forward to help save this property in some way, to date no one has stepped up help save the building. My passion is wavering but I'm still in the hunt of the truth and will continue until my dying day. My head is not in the clouds- eventually the city will take this building by eminent domain abuse as it has done so many times, and if I can get out with some respect I would like that. I have not given up yet as the fat lady has not sung yet.
