Pathmark? Barclays Center?
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.
Here's today's installment, which sites Pathmark at the entrance to the rail yards, where they're running a blue light special on the third rail.

This is a satellite image from Google Maps. I estimate it was taken sometime in August 2008 by the state of demolition of buildings south of Pacific Street.
It places Pathmark far south of its actual location (which is north of Atlantic Avenue), and it indicated the future location of the Barclays Center arena for the Nets, if it ever gets built.
All remaining buildings south of Pacific Street would be demolished. A majority of them have already been torn down. Those left standing are still occupied.
