Photos from an evening walk around the Atlantic Yards footprint.

Dean Street Block Association is throwing a block party tomorrow, Saturday 21st June, from noon until 6pm. Large portions of Dean Street are disappearing fast as they get demolished by Forest City Ratner.

A tour of Ratner-inspired graphic design along Pacific and Dean Street.

Some BIB images are now GPS tagged. That means there's data in the file that can show you exactly where they were taken from. I'll be using this in a post this week on graphics around the footprint. Many of the signs here feature words like detour, or closed.

Many more shots here, and the Flickr slide show is here

Norman Oder (right) has been trying to get an explanation from the police as to why we were removed from the Atlantic Center plaza, during the Build It Now rally. There's an update on Atlantic Yards Report today.

The AYR blog also ran an open invitation from Delia Hunley-Adossa, chair of the Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) Executive Committee, for people to take pictures at tomorrow's FCR organised rally:

"...this will be an excellent opportunity to come out to a FREE event... FREE food and give-away's. Get a chance to meet some celebrity basketball players from the NETS... and take pictures... and enjoy the day."
(Our emphasis)

AY Camera Club will try and make it to Borough Hall tomorrow and hope that the police have been briefed by the CBA that they want photographers at the event.

Blip TV filmed Tracy Collins and myself around the Atlantic Yards footprint this afternoon. While we were there I took some shots from the sidewalk and was told by a security guard I could not be there. Has FCR snapped up Dean Street?
