After Rollercoaster Week, Damage Is Done at AY

ratnerdemoflatbush07.jpg
Last week was quite a week in Atlantic Yards history. On Monday, opponents of the projects rallied against premature demolition in front of 191 and 193 Flatbush Avenue. On Thursday, the parapet collapsed at Ward's Bakery. Then on Friday, in response to the accident, Forest City agreed to the ESDC's call to suspend demolition pending further investigation. In the end, though, there was no turning back the clock for l'il ole 191 Flatbush Avenue, which will now get to really blight the corner of Flatbush and Pacific for a while. GMAP
