Ratnerville



I realize this is yesterday's news, and I was going to skip it as something actually relevant, but this proposal is nothing less than disturbing.

Before this, Brooklyn actually had an identity. Can anyone out there remember when the credits rolled in on "Welcome Back Kotter," and the sign read something like "Welcome to Brooklyn, 7th largest city in America" or something like that? The romantic sluminess of those credits always held a little place in my heart. Now it's no more.
