Atlas Auto Service?
Neighborhood photog Tracy Collins uploaded several satellite photos from Google Maps of the footprint of Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards megaproject, which by his estimates, judging from the state of demolition, date back to August 2008.
We'll be running one a day. For a peek at the rest, check them out in the flickr Atlantic Yards Photo Pool.
This is a satellite image from Google Maps. I estimate it was taken sometime in August 2008 by the state of the Ward Bread Bakery, which is half demolished in this photo. It's been completely demolished now. This entire block would be completely demolished. The remaining buildings (802 Pacific, 810 Pacific, 812 Pacific, 540 Vanderbilt, 603 Dean) are show in the notes.*
This still has the location of Atlas Auto Service shown, although this building was demolished some time ago.
