Brooklyn at Eye Level: Roots and arrogance
Here are excerpts from more interviews conducted by The Civilians, as background for the new play about Atlantic Yards:
"Me going to another complex? C’mon I don’t know nobody. I know people in the Clinton Hill area, Fort Greene area. I don’t wanna go out to no Bed Stuy. No Farragut. I don’t wanna go there. I’ll go there to talk or whatever but I’m not going to live out there.” — A Firmly Rooted Brooklynite
"...now all these guys you see coming into this neighborhood. they dont have time to say hi to you how are you, how ya been . . . they dont. that is nasty of them that is very rude . . . arrogant, cocky.” — Brooklyn Old Timer
NoLandGrab: In case you're wondering, the two gray houses in the background are in the footprint of Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards plan and are threatened with eminent domain.
