ESPN: "Hello, Brooklyn" (and how about that arena in "Fort Greene")
Atlantic Yards Report
From the 9/17/12/ issue of ESPN the Magazine, a one page annotated graphic hyping "Hello, Brooklyn," suggesting that "the borough the Dodgers made famous is once again having a sports moment."
Well, yes, there is a new team.
I'm not quite sure what the Brooklyn Boulders, the Brooklyn Cyclones, Hipster Williamsburg, and Mike Tyson's Bushwick (getting hipster-y, actually), have in common with the "Center of the Center," as ESPN dubs the Barclays Center arena, other than sharing the vast borough we call home.
But I am sure that the arena is 1) not located in Fort Greene and 2) thus not located, where it's placed, above Atlantic Avenue near Fort Greene Park.

NoLandGrab: At least they refrained from invoking The New York Times's favorite trope package: the Park Slope Food Coop, arugula, Birkenstocks and Socialism.
