More video from the Freddy's resistance, including an appearance on Fox and Friends

Atlantic Yards Report

The YouTube channel eminentdomainrevolt is chronicling the resistance to eminent domain at Freddy's Bar & Backroom, including an appearance on Fox and Friends (!) by bar manager Donald O'Finn and video producer Steve deSeve, an interview with O'Finn.

Yesterday, on the third in a four-week sequence of media events (installation of chains, guillotine), the bar held a toast to George Will, the conservative columnist who authored a column criticizing the use of eminent domain for Atlantic Yards. They also came up with some creative bilingual signage--at right and below--promising a boycott of arena naming rights sponsor Barclays.
