A Momma Grows In Brooklyn, Big Day - Part One: Old School Yogini
Today, I went to a yoga class for the first time in many, many months; I renewed my distaste for the Atlantic Yards "project"; and I yelled at several tourists. It was a big day - so big, in fact, that I have decided that it warrants three separate posts because God knows I do not want to subject any reader to a never-ending story about one day.
Atlas Shrugs in Brooklyn, Has The “Golden” Era Passed? Atlas Poll Indicates Frustration with Bay Ridge Prince
Insurgent Brooklyn Republicans are running a poll about the future of State Senator (and Atlantic Yards booster) Marty Golden, with whom they're less than enamored. One piece of evidence against Golden:
Earlier last year, the Senator was palling around with ACORN’s Bertha Lewis at an Atlantic Yards meeting.

Architecture and the Urban Landscape [Cleveland.com blog], Cleveland Coalition invites the public to brainstorm design of the Rock Ventures casino in Cleveland on Friday
The city of Cleveland is hell-bent on building a casino within its borders, which is always a sure ticket to economic resurgence and a better quality of life. But never mind that — wanna bet on who owns or controls every one of the sites under consideration?
Veysey said the discussion on Friday will focus on how a casino might be built west of Huron Road behind Tower City Center or within a renovated Higbee Building off Public Square.
Both sites were part of four specified by their legal descriptions in Issue 3, the constitutional amendment approved by voters in November, which enabled casino gambling in Ohio and gave Rock Ventures the right to own and operate casinos in Cleveland and Cincinnati.
At the March 5 gathering, experts said that proposed sites on Scranton Road Peninsula and the West Third Street Peninsula made little sense, so the coalition wants to zero in on the other two, Veysey said. All four sites are owned or controlled by Forest City Enterprises.
