Markowitz Upset That Russian Oligarch May Not Be Into That "Brooklynish Thing"
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
On the same day his buddies Bruce Ratner and Mikhail Prokhorov are laying waste to one of Brooklyn's great community bars—Freddy's Bar and Backroom—BEEP Markowitz is upset about reports of yet another Atlantic Yards bait-and-switch. Turns out the Cleveland and Russia based tycoons may not call the team they want to move to the Barclays Center Arena the Brooklyn Nets or the Brooklyn Anythings.
And that upsets Markowitz, because...you know...he cares so much about Brooklyn and the important things, or at least that "Brooklynish thing."
Hate to say we told you so Markowitz.
