As promises for job creation and affordable houses fall through, developer Bruce Ratner is anxious to show that he can deliver on those things that are of benefit to Bruce Ratner.
In Brooklyn, the construction of the Barclays Center is "on schedule and on budget," arena owner Bruce Ratner told the Daily News at halftime of Saturday's 90-89 preseason victory over the 76ers.
"I can guarantee 2012," Ratner said.
This article relocates the arena to the Brooklyn neighborhood Boerum Hill, instead of the actual location in Prospect Heights.
The Nets will play the next two seasons at the Rock in Newark - a city they're trying to embrace with giant billboards of players hanging on buildings - before moving to the intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush Aves. in Boerum Hill and, perhaps, changing their nickname.
