Every Time I Hear That Phrase “Eminent Domain” It Reminds Me of That Song by The Who

eminent.jpgRobert Puca of Develop Don’t Destroy and Community Board 8 writes to DAILY HEIGHTS: “I went to the rally yesterday. There were at least 500 people. It was inspiring to see so many people from all over Brooklyn coming together to fight Ratner. We started out marching from Borough Hall over the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall. Councilwoman Tish James led the charge with her trusty bullhorn in hand, cheering the cars on the Bridge to honk their horns in support of us. The story can be read at www.nolandgrab.org and pictures can be seen in this gallery.

“The rally wasn’t exclusively about Brooklyn overdevelopment. There were speakers from the Bronx, where Mayor Bloomberg is trying to level The Terminal Market and displace merchants to give it to Deputy Mayor Dan Doctoroff’s buddy Stephen Ross of Related co. Other speakers, including Norman Siegel who’s running for Public Advocate, spoke about Harlem, where Columbia Univ. is trying use Eminent Domain to expand their campus.”

Bbqvegetarian_2Charles Star offers for our consideration: “Gothamist recently asked Carrie about her favorite Brooklyn curiosities. This restaurant / grocery on the corner of Park and Carlton in Prospect Heights is one of mine.”

“I may not be up on the latest lingo, but doesn’t Sam have to make a choice? Maybe it will change when Sam’s BB-Q & Vegetarian is replaced by the store that is ‘Coming Soon.’”
