New Atlantic Yards blogger


Seems we have another blogger in our midsts.  The Footprint Gazette, published anonymously from within the DMZ of Prospect Heights, appeared today in my Google Alerts for "Atlantic Yards".  I don't know who's behind this new chronicle, but so far I like what I've read.


Here's a taste from the first entry:
For the last few years there has been an escalating occupation of the area unendearingly referred to as "The Footprint" by Forest City Ratner with the blessing of Marty Markowitz and his friends. Much has been written about the false promises and back room deals that have become synonymous with Atlantic Yards, so this blog aims to tell you what life is like on the ground, amidst the dirt and the rubble. These are the whispers within the thunder of backhoes. This is a reminder that people still live here.
I have my hunches as to who is behind this, but I won't be naming names...

Welcome, Footprint Gazetter(s)!  See you in the 'hood!
