Needless to say, there has been a decent amount of coverage of last night’s Second Annual Brooklyn Blogfest, along with some great photos posted on flickr. In particular, Sewell Chan offered a pretty comprehensive rundown over at the Empire Zone, which is a New York Time’ blog.

We thought we’d update our own coverage this afternoon with some links, rather than waiting until tomorrow morning to compile them. Although we will no doubt add to and, possibly, repeat the list tomorrow. We did find out that some bloggers, like seriously excited!–which is one of our top favorite photo blogs–were unable to get into the Blogfest because there was some error with his RSVP and the event was so crowded. We were sorry to hear this.

In any case, here are links to some of the Blogfest posts:

Speakers at the event included Steve Berlin Johnson of outside.in, Lumi Michelle Rolly of No Land Grab, Jonathan Butler of Brownstoner, Norman Oder of Atlantic Yards Report and Eleanor Traubman of Creative Times.

Mr. Johnson noted “the rise of local place bloggers providing information about the zone of information that I care the most about.” He said he believes that bloggers “are the future” and that Brooklyn itself is on the cutting edge of the trend nationally.

Ms. Rolley assailed the mainstream press for its “undercoverage” of critical Brooklyn issues such as Atlantic Yards. “Without the Brooklyn blogosphere, Brooklynites would have no freaking idea” of the details of such a major develoment.”

Mr. Butler of Brownstoner said that blogging had created “a transparency to the process” and added “the power and impact and resonance of community.”

As if to prove that even the most serious of Brooklyn bloggers have an exceptional sense of humor, Atlantic Yards Report’s Mr. Oder–who is renowned for his in-depth and authoritative coverage of Atlantic Yards–was given a super hero cape as an “Uber Blogger” and wore the red cape while making his remarks. He discussed “the journalism of verification” and noted that AYR is “a piece of journalism” and that many blogs adhering to serious journalistic standards can be found around Brooklyn.

GL also made remarks about the impact that Brooklyn blogging has had and the fact that bloggers now form the foundation of the information food chain and are helping shape the public discourse in key ways. We noted our believe that mainstream media had abrogated its responsibility to cover critical Brooklyn issues and that blogs were filling a critical void. “It’s all about shining a light on things,” we said. “The days when you can demolish a building, for instance, and no one would notice are over. Today, within 45 minutes of the first brick being removed, one of us will have a photo online and within two hours we all will.”

We want to thank everyone that introduced themselves and said kind things about GL. It gives us the motivation to work even harder. It was wonderful meeting the bloggers behind such blogs as Kinetic Carnival and Clinton Hill Blog and Runs Brooklyn and Test of Will whose work we respect and we know we missed talking with a bunch of others.

Make sure to read Louise Crawford’s rundown of the event at OTBKB as well as Sewell Chan’s excellent rundown of the event at the Empire Zone, the New York Times blog.

In a word, the Brooklyn Blogfest was fun.

LNG is a condensed and super-cooled natural gas, which is highly explosive and, if ignited or attacked by airplane or missile, would create a fireball reaching Manhattan that would incinerate everything in its path. There is now no trained Haz Mat or foam company within CD#1.

Those words are from the alarmists at Community Board 1 that prepared the statement in response to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Greenpoint-Williamsburg Rezoning. No Haz Mat teams in the area? Incinerating fireballs?

If you pooh pooh the terrorism threat, there’s still always the chance of accident, and they do happen. Like an LNG explosion in 1973 in Staten Island that killed 43 people. As for LNG itself, it’s exceptionally combustible when it warms and it burns hotter than gasoline or oil. LNG “pool fires” can’t be put out. They have to burn themselves out.

Silly us. We always wondered what those ominous looking tanks in the distance were. Now that we know they’re Liquid Natural Gas, we’d definitely think twice about moving within fireball incineration distance. Sure, the odds are minimal, and residents have lived with the threat for generations, but everybody should at least be aware of what’s stored in the tanks.

It’s always good to know what’s out there to worry about when we feel like worrying about something we can’t control.

The city’s Economic Development Corp. has issued a “Request for Expressions of Interest” for the Brooklyn House of Detention (AKA the Jail with Retail) on Atlantic Avenue.

The RFEI, as it’s known, talks about a 165,000 square foot jail expansion for 720 inmate beds and two towers with 238,500 square feet of residential or commercial space. Also an “urban plaza” at ground level and, of course, ground floor retailing. And “dormitory-style” cells. There’s a nice rundown of the possible future at the Brooklyn Eagle and you can catch the RFEI page itself here. The new-ish blog McBrooklyn also has a post up about it.

It is the start of what is certain to be a long and contentious process about the jail’s future.

The annual Brooklyn Waterfront Artist’s Coalition spring show opens on Saturday (5/12). The show at the coalitions pier exhibition space is at 499 Van Brunt Street. The Connections show will run through June 17 and is open on weekends from 1PM-6PM. It’s always an interesting and wide-ranging exhibition and more than 325 artists and photographers are participating. The artist’s reception is tomorrow afternoon and there’s some live music at 3PM. If you haven’t been to Red Hook recently, it’s also an excuse to stop in at the Red Hook ballfields weekend food extravaganza, which is now open for the season and to see what Thor Equities has wrought with its demolition work at the Revere Sugar site across the water from the exhibition. For more info head over to BWAC’s site.

It’s time for Bklyn Designs again, starting today and running through Sunday May 13. It’s billed as “Three days of hot young talent showcasing art, design and architecture, in DUMBO.” It’s the fifth anniversary edition with a record 65 exhibitors, including 30 newcomers and 35 show veterans.

Locations are St. Ann’s Warehouse at 38 Water Street, the Smack Mellon Gallery at 92 Plymouth St. and the Brooklyn Designs Annex at 81 Front Street. Hours are Friday, May 11, 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, May 12, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; and Sunday, May 13, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. There are many events in many different places. Tickets $13 per person per day. For more information, click here.

Here’s some verbiage from a document prepared by the Rezoning Task Force of Community Board 1 during the Greenpoint/Williamsburg rezoning debate in 2005:

Radiac, at Kent Avenue and S. 1st Street, serves as a transfer station for both hazardous chemicals and low-level radioactive waste. Because of the spatial inadequacies of the footprint of the facility, Radiac often operates with its doors open during loading/unloading of hazardous chemical and radioactive waste. A Molotov cocktail or a gunshot could set off a calamitous event. Engine Co. 212 was located ten blocks from Radiac and could have handled a fire rapidly enough to prevent a meltdown of the low-level nuclear waste (the EPA standard of cleanup of Radioactive events could lead to a 50-year evacuation and quarantine of Williamsburg and parts of Manhattan or Queens, depending on wind direction). This one facility stores up to critical mass of radioactive waste and flammable liquids, reactives, oxidizers, and explosives (up to 15,000 total gallons of hazardous chemical waste)…

If that’s not enough to make a bite of lunch go down your windpipe, here’s a bit more background color from an article in Block Magazine a while back:

That inventory, and charges that Radiac has been lax in the care and security of the chemicals, has residents and neighborhood activists pining for a relocation of the business to a less densely populated area. An accident in Radiac could easily trigger one of the worst environmental disasters New York City has ever seen, says Sean Nagle, the health and research director of activist organization El Puente’s Community Health and Education Institute…

We won’t even get into the fact that there is nothing–utterly and absolutely nothing other than fate–to stop someone with evil intent from taking advantage of the situation, even if it has been somewhat mitigated. The horrifying possibilities aside, no one that we know of has collected any health data on the facility’s neighbors, but it would be interesting to know whether there was any spike in cancers or other illnesses during the 25 years that Radiac has operated.

It should be noted that Radiac is now a “10-day transfer facility,” meaning that it no longer stores was for up to a year and that they are no longer allowed to store “incompatible chemicals” such as cyanide and acid. However, if you want to see what happened when vbs.tv went by with a geiger counter, click here. One community leaders told GL that “The community has let Radiac slip off the radar since they announced changes in what they would handle and for how long.”

Radiac remains relevant as residential developments like Northside Piers, The Edge, 184 Kent and the housing that will likely go on the old Domino Plant site sprout nearby.

David Bowie’s Highline Festival kicked off last night with a great performance by Arcade Fire at Radio City Music Hall…and the manhandling of at least one fan by Radio City security. Dozens of spectators were caught in the middle, and many were hit and shoved in the process.

In the scheme of things, it’s a little thing. Even if you don’t mind security roughing someone up, however, a lot of people were impacted and it could easily have spiraled out of control if someone had taken issue with being collateral damage.

It all started late in the show when Arcade Fire’s Win Butler urged the audience to come up to the stage. “Jesus Fucking Christ,” he said. “Come up here. What can they do to you?”

What they could do, it turned out, was rush you, jump you, beat you and drag you from Radio City in a headlock. We apologize upfront for not having photos or video. (The photo below is of security staff several minutes after the fisticuffs. We know the woman on the right was not involved. The woman barely visible in the background is a supervisor who arrived on the scene. We don’t know the role for certain of the gentleman on the left.) There were people who shot video and photos of the altercation. Perhaps someone will YouTube it. The action kicked off between Rows AA and GG in the aisle between the 300 and 400 section of the orchestra when someone took Mr. Butler at his word and pushed past ushers. This is not a wise thing to do at Radio City. At that point, about a half-dozen employees descended on him, trying to stop him. They pushed him into the seats and we saw at least one (and possibly more) of the Radio City security employees punching the concert goer. The concert goer may have struggled with them–either to get to the stage or to escape the beating–but that’s beside the point.

Now, we’ve seen plenty of concert violence in our day. We think it’s dumb to challenge concert security and we fully realize that this incident is a tiny thing in New York City, but seeing someone who’s done nothing wrong other than try to get near the stage getting jumped and punched rather fucks with our concert experience. We wouldn’t say it was a savage beating, but security was punching the gentleman. Call us naive, but we didn’t count on violence being included in the cost of our Arcade Fire ticket at Radio City Music Hall and on seeing the nice people in the maroon tuxedos rocking out on someone. The security brawl probably went on for about a minute and a half and covered a lot of territory as the gang tackle moved around.

As we took a couple of crappy pictures of some security with our cell phone after the altercation, one of them snarled at us to stop. Three of them approach GL. One called a supervisor and a lot of pointing of fingers at us ensued. For a moment we wondered if we’d get tossed out, but the security staff must have been instructed not to hurt us or take our cell phone, as they only glared. One guy stationed himself next to us for the rest of the set.

When Mr. Butler came back on stage for the encore he referred to encouraging fans to come up to the stage and said, “I apologize to Radio City security. I was a bad boy.”

After the show, we approached a supervisor and asked why excessive force had been used. She told us to mind our own business and denied that anything improper had happened. We asked for the security supervisor’s name and another guard said, “We don’t know his name.” We told a supervisor who had managed the removal of the victim that we do a blog and that we wanted to talk to someone. “Don’t harass me,” she said. “Go do your little blog.” Then, she called another supervisor over and told him GL was “harassing” her. We asked him why the fan had been beaten up. “Nobody got beaten up,” he said.

“Well, why was excessive force used?” we said.

“We do what we got to do,” he said. “He was trying to get by the stage.”

We talked with about a half-dozen people afterward. All were angry that they’d gotten caught in the crossfire and that Radio City staff had used rather violent methods. Someone even stopped us in the lobby and said he was glad we tried to talk to security after the show as he and his wife were upset by the nasty little scene.

Our own thought is that the situation was uncalled for. At best, excessive force was used. From our perspective, the concert goer was actually assaulted by at least one Radio City employee. A lot of people got glancing blows and were pushed and scared. Radio City should be ashamed of itself and of the behavior its employees. A lot of people could have been hurt by their overreaction and violent, aggressive behavior.

Arcade Fire, by the way, was wonderful.

We now return to our regular Brooklyn programming.

The Great Wall of Red Hook has gone through many phases, some of which reflect the unhappiness of some residents about the retail behemoth rising in their midst. Red Hook correspondent Chris Curen reports that, among other thing, that sign that appeared, disappeared and reappeared that proclaims Ikea’s investigation of a filled-in graving dock has now disappeared again. He writes:

The news that the IKEA site is going to be garnished with a 70,000 sq. ft. Bed Bath and Beyond didn’t seem to go over too well in Red Hook. A few days after somebody (who, to judge from the lettering was either pretty liquored up or pretty nervous) spray-painted “Happy Is The Nation With No History,” on the Big Blue Wall of Red Hook, somebody else took issue with the famous Corp of Engineers mandated “Celebrations of IKEA’s Preservationist Tendencies Historical Marker.” Curiously, it took two days to cover the spray-paint, while The Corp sign remains in tatters.

You can check the background on “the sign” here, here and here. We await the sign’s reappearance.

It looks like work is going to start soon on part of the Quadriad development site in Williamsburg. You know the one: that vast, ugly empty lot between N. 3rd Street and N. 4th Street along Bedford Avenue. Quadriad has hatched a variety of, um, interesting plans for the parcel, the most riveting of which involve buildings up to 30 stories tall that would require a re-rezoning of the parcel, which falls under the neighborhood’s 2005 downzoning. The developer has applied for a permit for a five story building with 75 units, but the record also shows that it is part of a plan that would also include “2 towers and 16 townhouses.” The “two towers,” of course, are the possibly controversial part of the Quadriad scheme. As previously conveyed by Brooklyn11211:

Quadriad is proposing to build more or less to the as-of-right envelope on Bedford Avenue (5 to 7 stories), and to develop “townhouses” along North 3rd. At the corner of Berry and North 3rd, Quadriad is proposing a 20-story tower (the not as-of-right part of the project that would require a rezoning). The numbers – roughly – are 250 units total, with 90 of those set aside for affordable housing (both rental and condo). (A strictly as-of-right project would yield 80 market-rate units, so in order to generate 90 units of affordable housing, they need to more than triple the number of housing units in the project.)

The work is projected to start in August and a formal request for a zoning change to build the towers is likely in July.

Among the many issues in the ongoing discussion about Gowanus rezoning and planning is how to preserve the neighborhood for the hundreds, if not thousands, of artists that are working there. One proposal, to make Gowanus an Artist’s District, or to at least provide some buildings where artists can work at low cost is the subject of a story in this week’s Observer, which also offers a nice thumbnail of the neighborhood:

How do you solve a problem like Gowanus? On the one hand, it’s an oddly quiet valley of low buildings and big skies between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens, where pedestrian bridges cut across a winding canal. On the other hand, it’s a fetid, carcinogenic cesspool that’s proven resistant to nearly 100 years of attempted detox. If you squint, it could be Amsterdam. If you inhale, it’s Love Canal.

But like the last debutante at the ball, Gowanus is starting to attract some suitors it doesn’t really deserve: Whole Foods is building a sprawling, two-acre complex within smelling distance of the canal; a 106-room Comfort Inn will soon open amid the empty lots and auto-repair shops; and developers like Toll Brothers and Shaya Boymelgreen are buying up land around the waterway with dreams of luxury high-rises.

All of which has Dana Matthews in a state.

Ms. Matthews, a photographer who rents 3,000 square feet of studio space above an industrial Laundromat, likes her Gowanus gritty—and affordable. So she’s proposing some new rules: Make Gowanus a specially zoned “Artists’ District,” where painters, sculptors, musicians, et al. would be free to get their art on without sweating the rent.

More than a thousand artists like Ms. Matthews have quietly established a thriving little community in Gowanus over the past 10 to 15 years, and her idea has become a topic of conversation. As they tell it, after being priced out of Soho, Chelsea, Dumbo and Williamsburg, the artists are finally entitled to a homeland.

It will be interesting, and revealing, to see whether space for artists is included in the Gowanus planning process. You can read the entire story here and, of course, visit the Brooklyn Artist’s Gym, which is in Gowanus, to get a sense of one approach to space for artists in the neighborhood.

Provide ready access to buildings heating system no access door locked at cellar…Repair the broken or defective plastered surfaces and paint in a uniform color ceilling and walls in the bathroom…Remove all obstructions and repair all defects in at bath tub waste pipe in the bathroom…Repair or replace the smoke detector missing in the entire apartment…Provide an approved and operational carbon monoxide detecting device…Repair with similar material the broken or defective fire retardant material ceilings and walls all stories at public hall…Replace with new the broken or defective locking device at the door in the entrance.

And that’s just a sampling of the violations in one apartment in October and December.

Taconic has also been acquiring a significant amount of land near the Child’s site, with a $6.65 million purchase in December and a purchase of $5 million in April.

One of the posters on the Coney Island Message Board has been following Taconic’s purchases and directs attention to the Coney Island South Venture and the Coney Island North Venture.

Of the South Venture, the firm writes:

Beginning in August 2006, Taconic began assembling land on the south side of Surf Avenue, adjacent to the beach. This land now totals nearly 240,000 square feet or 5.5 acres.

Taconic hopes to have the potential to develop between 1,125,000 and 1,800,000 square feet of residential, retail and parking areas on nearly 5 acres of prime beachfront property. In addition, Taconic is in preliminary discussions with the City to acquire approximately 11 acres of City owned land in various locations immediately adjacent to the property. While the feasibility, cost and likelihood of such a disposition by the City can not been determined for some time, there is the potential to increase the total size of the development to more than 5,000,000 square feet.

Of the North Venture, the firm writes:

Beginning in spring 2005, Taconic began assembling land on three city blocks along Surf Avenue. Since then, Taconic has purchased a total of 109,000 square feet of land area. … Taconic hopes to achieve final designations that will allow for construction of nearly 1,000,000 square feet of residential and retail space as well as parking for over 1,000 cars.

Taconic appears to be in the process of trying to acquire a huge parcel of land of up to three city blocks on the south side of Surf Avenue, some of which is city-owned. Much of the city owned land is in the hands of the Parks Department.

Significantly, Taconic’s holdings are outside of the area that will be the focus of Thor’s fight to rezone the amusement area to allow housing.

All of which can easily lead one to conclude that Taconic could well turn out to be Coney Island’s Sleeper Megadeveloper.

UPDATE: The North Venture and South Venture pages are down or have been pulled down, as noted by the commenter below, who publishes Kinetic Carnival. So, for the curious, here are links to the cached Google pages. Go here for the North Venture page and go here for the South Venture page.

It’s a little thing, but we couldn’t help but note the irony dripping from this email from the Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods, which is a broad based coalition of Brooklyn organizations, to the Empire State Development Corporation. You might recall the ESDC announced on Monday it was finally appointing an ombudsman to monitor the Atlantic Yards project. Here are some excerpts from the email:

We have just received a copy of the May 7, 2007 ESDC press release forwarded to the Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods (CBN) by a member of the press. Please add CBN to the ESDC’s data base for notification of Atlantic Yards related information.

We trust that you recall that CBN wrote to the ESDC on March 8, 2007, offering to work with you in the development of an “Atlantic Yards Construction Community information system” (text of letter attached.) Unfortunately, CBN never received a response to our offer. We renewed our offer to the ESDC at CBN’s April 27th press conference at the site of the Ward Bakery parapet collapse, and want to confirm that our offer of assistance remains open.

We are encouraged that the ESDC has taken steps to create some form of construction oversight, as was promised in the Environmental Impact Statement. However, we are quite concerned that the measures which the ESDC announced today do not contain any direct input from or involvement with the affected communities.

Decades of intense and captivating fun to come!

In any case, the Park Slope Civic Council is teaming up with a firm called CitySolve for a demonstration project, with each footing the bill for half the cost of the $2,000 newspaper condo. Each box holds eight papers, including free ones. They are designed with sloping tops so that people can’t leave things on top of them and with graffiti-proof surfaces. Given the First Amendment issues involved, publishers are asked beforehand to participate in the demonstration project. The ultimate goal is to get the city to fund placement of the newspaper condos as a streetscape improvement measure. Could be a winner.
