Meaning of the Giants' Parade
The Neighborhood Retail Alliance
Did Ratner consultant Richard Lipsky play his football in the era before helmets?
Civic spirit on display, a people brought to gether by a sports team, and an annonymous urban sprawl cohering with the a common bond-this is the full possibility of a sports team, and why sports holds the place it does in our hearts. It is also what, hopefully, the future holds for Brooklyn when the Nets rock in in 2010.
...When the Nets come to Brooklyn first the borough and then the whole city will, if things break right, be in for a special treat. The team-through the work of the Brooklyn Sports Alliance-will become a part of the communities of the borough in a way that links them all together. And if the rivalry with what Marty Markowitz calls the "Manhattan Knicks" takes off-well, "Fuhgettabout it!"
NoLandGrab: Been feeling blue lately (and we don't mean Giants blue)? Don't worry — when the Nets tip off in Brooklyn, all will be right with the Borough, and you'll be able to flush your Paxil® down the toilet.
