Expect Big Decisions Soon on Atlantic Yards, Gowanus Superfund
by Dennis Holt (Holt@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-19-2009

By Dennis Holt
Brooklyn Daily Eagle

BROOKLYN — With apologies to historian Barbara Tuchman, these comments could be titled “The Shoes of November.” The “shoes” relate to two major land use decisions that are expected to be made between now and the end of the month.

The two dropped shoes concern two large underused land areas within about {read more...}





Letter to the Editor:
Sen. Squadron’s Curious Vision
by contributor (contributors@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-18-2009

To the Editor:

It is odd that Sen. Squadron’s vision of a 21st century park is so different from Frederick Law Olmsted’s 19th century vision of Central and Prospect Parks. Instead of Olmsted’s tranquil meadows and woods offering quiet, contemplative escape {read more...}

The GOP’s Extremist Right and Obama’s Reluctance To Confront It
by Dennis Holt (edit@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-18-2009

By Dennis Holt
Brooklyn Daily Eagle

BROOKLYN — I guess I am puzzled a lot these days, but I spent much of this past weekend more confused than usual.

The source was the uproar and language of the reaction to the government’s decision to try the top five terrorists of 9/11 in the very city they terrified.

Listening to {read more...}

After Coney Island Deal, Sitt Also Holds Red Hook Cards
by Dennis Holt (Holt@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-17-2009

By Dennis Holt
Brooklyn Daily Eagle

I don’t know their names or how many there are, but one can bet that there were some city employees who unexpectedly spent last weekend getting ready for a trip.

This happened because the city and Coney Island landowner Joe Sitt have finally cut a deal. Part of that deal is that {read more...}

Democrats in Trouble In New York State
by Dennis Holt (edit@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-13-2009

BROOKLYN — It is quite true that almost before the last vote is counted in this year’s election, next year’s election begins. And this is very true in New York City and state.

Next year is an “off-year” election. This means that every member of the House of Representatives is up for election and one-third of {read more...}

IKEA Does Well by Doing Good, Keeping Its Promises
by Dennis Holt (Holt@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-12-2009

By Dennis Holt
Brooklyn Daily Eagle

I wonder how many people in Brooklyn have a positive feeling about IKEA, yet have never stepped foot into its store in Red Hook.

This is not an academic question or one with a catch. There have to be a good many people with a good feeling about the store because the {read more...}





Review and Comment
To Tame the Corners
by Henrik Krogius (Krogius@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-11-2009

As we face a third term by Mayor Bloomberg, note should be taken of the quite radical change his administration has been achieving to effect the way our streets work. The Department of Transportation (DOT) is no longer the laggard it was in trying to make life easier for pedestrians and bicyclists. Under Giuliani the emphasis was still on speeding the flow of vehicular traffic and making pedestrians stay out of the way of cars. The car was king. No {read more...}

Healthcare Reform Vote: Finest Moment for Obama
by Dennis Holt (Holt@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-10-2009

By Dennis Holt
Brooklyn Daily Eagle

BROOKLYN — After the historic vote this weekend by the House on healthcare reform, President Obama told those who voted for it that they will realize, “This was my finest moment in politics.”

And he’s right. It is unlikely any of the members will be called on again to vote for any {read more...}

by Brooklyn Eagle (edit@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-09-2009

Both Samuel Newhouse and Oliver Mackson, a reporter with the Times Herald-Record in Middletown, New York, are doing a phenomenal job researching and reporting about the Laura Garza story (see Sex Offender Sentenced, as Police Build Case in Bay {read more...}

Reflections on The Election
by Dennis Holt (Holt@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-06-2009

By Dennis Holt
Brooklyn Daily Eagle

BROOKLYN — Well, now we know why Bloomberg spent all that money.

It can now be told that the Bloomberg campaign sharpies always expected a closer race than most people thought it would be and the polls showed.

This was the reason the campaign made an unprecedented effort to obtain community-newspaper endorsements. {read more...}

Wants Chopper Tours Banned
by Brooklyn Eagle (edit@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-04-2009

To the Editor:

While the Bloomberg administration pursues its campaign to protect us from second-hand smoke, trans-fat, and soft drinks, it appears strangely insensitive to a nasty pollutant that is eroding the quality of life of entire NYC neighborhoods. The pollutant {read more...}

Otis Pearsall, chief organizer of the campaign that led to historic district designation of Brooklyn Heights in 1965, is after a new goal: to improve the look and quality of everything built in New York City. He proposes a new, {read more...}

Bus Routes Need Rethinking As Older Population Increases
by Dennis Holt (Holt@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-04-2009

By Dennis Holt
Brooklyn Daily Eagle

BROOKLYN — For personal reasons I have become a bus rider, at least going to work and now and then coming home. I do continue to use the subways, but only when I have to. It’s all those stairs.

I have long been an observer of buses from the outside, now I {read more...}

How Manhattanization of B’klyn Has Given Us Better Restaurants
by Dennis Holt (Holt@brooklyneagle.net), published online 11-03-2009

By Dennis Holt
Brooklyn Daily Eagle

BROOKLYN — I noticed this weekend that there is a new book out called Appetite City: A Culinary History of New York. It is written by William Grimes, former restaurant critic of the Times, and if the review in the Times Book Review is accurate, this looks like a winner.
