Teletopez Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPMdoCbbyagInside a tent in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn on Thursday afternoon, the mayor and the governor mingled with celebrities and titans of business, nibbling knishes served in martini glasses, to celebrate the long-delayed groundbreaking of the basketball arena that will be the cornerstone of the Atlantic Yards project. “Today’s a great day for Brooklyn, and for the soul of Brooklyn as well, which is very much alive,” declared Marty Markowitz, the borough president and a prime cheerleader for the project. Maybe 100 feet away on Atlantic Avenue, protesters who had caused the years of delay hooted and whistled loud enough to be heard inside, holding signs that showed saddened brownstones and wearing masks depicting prominent New York politicians, including many who sat on the dais inside the tent. A fake Marty Markowitz earlier read a fake proclamation declaring March 11, 2010, the Destruction of Brooklyn’s Soul Day.NY Times New Renderings Edited March 13, 2010 by Waldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xx. Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 A little too late for the 2010 free agency, at least its getting done. But hey, its giving the Nets two years at the nice new arena in Newark, thats a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
