Atlantic Yards Bar Going Down in a Blade of Glory
Curbed
 |
Following up its Chains of Justice stunt, Dean Street's Freddy's Bar—the Prospect Heights dive that find itself in the unfortunate position of being located within the Atlantic Yards footprint o' death—unveiled a nine-foot-tall PBR guillotine and decapitated a bogeyman named Eminent Domain over the weekend. We'll assume Freddy's didn't make it onto Bruce Ratner's Christmas card list this year. With the eminent domain clock ticking, the next move has to be arming themselves with peanut slingshots, right?

Gothamist, Freddy's Bar Sharpens Guillotine to Protest Atlantic Yards
Last week staffers and tipplers handcuffed themselves to the bar to protest the establishment's increasingly likely demise, and this weekend they kicked it up a notch by building a nine-foot-tall guillotine made from PBR cans and executing an effigy representing "eminent domain theft." (One yank on a Blue Point beer tap brought the blade down.)
