Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn, Not Dem Bums
This is what they want to use eminent domain, public land and taxpayer subsidies for? This is what they want to move to Brooklyn? Ugh.
NoLandGrab: The Nets are the only NBA team that has yet to win a game this season. Bet Lebron's just chomping at the bit to be a part of that.
Bleacher Report, New Jersey Nets: Scrap Brooklyn and Rebuild in the Bronx
In light of the Yankees winning the World Series, a random thought came about: the New Jersey Nets.
Yes, I know, the Nets are possibly the worst team in the NBA right now and are lottery bound (which I will touch on later). But one can't help but look at the old Yankee Stadium and realize that there is room for two stadiums in the area.
NLG: Perfect, 'cause the Yankees and the city never really wanted to build those new parks anyway.
NetsAreScorching, NETS ON THE NET: 11/5/09 EDITION
NAS's Mark Ginocchio posts a thought-provoking reply to a question about the Nets-to-Newark scenario.
...with Corzine out of office, I’d be curious to see if the Newark move will happen now. He and his administration seemed willing to look the other way on the Nets paying a penalty for the move, and it sounds like the Christie/GOP regime is going to beat the “fiscal responsibility” drum here.
Brokelyn, Atlantic Yards doco makers still nearly $20K shy of a movie
Here’s your easiest route ever to associate producer status on a documentary film. The Brooklyn-based studio Rumur has spent the last six years producing Battle of Brooklyn, a documentary chronicling Daniel Goldstein’s fight against the Atlantic Yards development project and his effort to save his home at 636 Pacific St.
...With the help of the funding platform Kickstarter, they’re trying to raise $25,000 by December 1 to receive a matching grant that will meet the rest of their needs. You can pledge $1 (or more, they prefer) at Rumur’s Kickstarter page.
Not Another F*cking Blog, “Battle of Brooklyn” needs a swift kick
Over the past 5 years, I’ve gotten to know many involved in the fight over developer Forest City Ratner’s Atlantic Yards. From the beginning, filmmaker Michael Galinsky and crew have been following this story on a budget that’s typical of many documentaries: next to nothing. Money’s even tighter in this economy, so they’re reaching out to family, friends, supporters, strangers and the internets for funding.
If they reach $25,000 in pledges by December 1st, they will receive a matching grant. Please make a pledge today! This is a story that must be told.
