Check out the Develop Don’t Destroy website. Not only is full of information about the fight against Ratnerville, but their new advisory board is a veritable who’s who’s of interesting people in Brooklyn. For every name, there’s a link. If they’re real famous, they’re on Wikipedia, (Rosie Perez, Buscemi, Jonathan Safran Foer). Others are on Women Make Movies (Jo Andres), The Saatchi Gallery (David Salle), their own blogs (Jenifer Egan.com, francismorrone.com), etc.
Marian Fontana’s link goes to OTBKB. She told me this morning. And she got to read something I wrote about her that she’d never seen. Explore the DDDB website. It’s good.
