It Came from the Blogosphere...
Clinton Hill Chill, NEIGHBORHOOD REJECTS FULTON ST. B.I.D!
This is a flyer from the Fulton Area Community Crier I received in the ‘hood and I’m going on record to co-sign:
...
Six years ago Mayor Bloomberg and partner Forest City Ratner Companies(FCRC) launched their Atlantic Yards attack on Prospect Heights; they thought the neighborhood would be caught off guard and defenseless. Now it’s our turn to fight off the Mayor and Pratt Area Community (PACC) on target Fulton street.
Brooklyn Streets, Carroll Gardens, Mayor Bloomberg: Hoocoodanode?
I'll clap Bloomberg on the back for two things: 311 and the smoking ban. Other than that, his every instinct is utterly wrongheaded. Dan Doctoroff? The Olympics? Patricia Lancaster? Atlantic Yards? The West Side Stadium? Sweetheart deals with every billionaire developer in town (or Ohio)? The 2004 Republican National Convention? Persecution of Critical Mass? Suppression of protest of every stripe (including the February 2003 anti-war rally)?
