Brooklyn's Borough Prez Honors Notorious B.I.G.

No, we're not talking Bruce's Idiotic Gambit, but the late hip-hop artist. Atlantic Yards does get a mention, for context.
For once he's doing the right thing. Many of us who live in NYC's best borough (that's Brooklyn, in case you didn't know) have been forced to endure life under double-chinned, perennially dieting Borough President Marty Markowitz. While I could ramble on about how I disagree with Markowitz's bizarre vision for Brooklyn, support of the doomed Atlantic Yards project and chastise him for his strange, sometimes embarrassing remarks (when asked by a reporter about the closure of beloved 100+ year old restaurant Gage & Tollner, Marty quipped: "Maybe it wasn't so beloved!"), tomorrow night Marko will present a proclamation to the family of Brooklynite Christopher Wallace, aka Biggie Smalls and The Notorious B.I.G., at a special Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) screening of the new biopic Notorious.
