Trying to rename Brooklyn "Forest City"? Maybe not so much, but Barclays Center, as in BCTV, and Brooklyn Nets step up
Atlantic Yards Report
Remember how roots rocker John Pinamonti, in his elegiac 2007 fight song "The Burrow," warned:

They're trying to rename Brooklyn "Forest City"Well, that's not so anymore. The names we hear are The Brooklyn Nets, whose promotional efforts get compounded by press promotion, and the Barclays Center, the latter named--despite Michael D. D. White's efforts in Noticing New York--mostly unsullied by the Barclays scandal.
"Visit BCTV to watch what's happening around Brooklyn and Barclays Center," the arena home page urges, referring to the in-house video channel, which of course comes with a sponsor, Ortsbo.
