Crib Notes [Cleveland Plain Dealer blog]

The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are reporting that architect Frank Gehry is still part of Forest City Ratner's controversial and much-delayed Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn.
Forest City Ratner, the New York arm of Forest City Enterprises Inc. of Cleveland, denied rumors that it had fired Gehry but said the developer is looking for less expensive ways to build an arena for the New Jersey Nets basketball team. The $1 billion arena, designed by Gehry, is the centerpiece of the project.
NoLandGrab: Actually, the papers are reporting that Forest City Ratner is claiming that Gehry is still part of the project. Gehry hasn't responded to inquiries. In other news, Pinocchio is reportedly a real boy.
