It was just a matter of time, really, before Brooklyn became the umpteenth site for the Occupy Wall Street phenomenon. So tomorrow, Saturday, along with your Farmers Market pumpkins and squash, you can get (and give) a good dose of politics at 11 AM at Grand Army Plaza in Park Slope. What's their message? It's still being honed and harvested.
Where Will Occupy Wall Street in Brooklyn Hang Its Hat?
Outgrowing Zuccotti Park, the protesters need a place to hang their hats.
Personally, I'd like to see a Speakers Corner in Brooklyn, like the famous one in Hyde Park, London.
But hmm...a big empty space that's privately owned? Too bad there's not a safe public space near that so called "blighted" area, Atlantic Yards. Now wouldn't that be the irony of all ironies, if Occupy Brooklyn were to occupy Atlantic Yards? A bloggling thought...
Meanwhile, while others have been making the revolution, as it were, I've been dreaming up Occupy Wall Street Halloween costumes...
They're meeting at 11 A.M. under the Arch at Grand Army Plaza on Saturday October 15, should you want to listen, argue, opine, learn and see for yourself.
