Happy Birthday, America!
 |
What better way to celebrate America's birthday than with a cake* in the shape of the Atlantic Yards footprint, to remind us that, 233 years after our Founding Fathers declared independence from a repressive regime, the King can still take your property for a basketball palace.
Will New York State, which joined originally with the twelve other colonies in UNITY against the crown, pull the plug on the troubled project, or will it continue to do the bidding of King Bruce?
(*Actual use: the celebration of the birthday of Historic Districts Council Deputy Director Frampton Tolbert; bakers, Cassie Murdoch and Andrew Sloat)
