Brooklyn at Eye Level: Fort Greene Park
Here is an excerpt from an interview conducted by The Civilians, as background for the new play about Atlantic Yards:
“Oh, I know what disappeared! Concerts in the park! Concerts in Fort Greene Park. They got rid of those because I guess the people who live here now didn’t want the kinds of people who’d come to the concerts parking on their streets or hanging out in front of their houses. Didn’t want the noise. So those are gone. And now they got doggie fountains…where your dog could get a drink of water. Used to be your kids couldn’t get water outta those fountains, now they lowered them so the dogs can drink.” — Fort Greene resident
