Brooklyn in 2010
It turns out that famous Brooklynites have also made predictions for the year 2010. In an article in the Brooklyn Eagle a number of Brooklyn residents -- from Borough President Marty Markowitz to Judy Stanton to Karen Auster -- share their revelations about the new year.
BP Markowitz predicts, among other things, that "the shovels will hit the ground on the Barclays Center/Atlantic Yards project" and "Asbestos removal at Loew’s Kings Theater will get underway, bringing the famed theater one step closer to a new life."
Harold Egeln at the Eagle predicts that Mayor Michael Bloomberg will make a bid to buy the “gingerbread house” in Bay Ridge, up for sale at $12 million.
