Next Front in the War for the Hearts and Minds of Brooklynites: DDDB Benefit Concert

The War for the Hearts and Minds of Brooklynites vis a vis Atlantic Yards, Ratnerville and Miss Brooklyn opens on a new front on Saturday (6/3) with an oh-so-fun benefit concert for Develop-Don't Destroy Brooklyn with Dan Zanes and Brooklyn Friends. Time and place is 11 AM at the Hanson Place United Methodist Church at 144 St. Felix Street at Hanson Place. You can get a ticket online or tomorrow at the show.

Hey, why not listen to people dump on Atlantic Yards and its proponents with music? Plus, with the likes of Heath Ledger, Steve Buscemi and Rosie Perez marching in the anti-Ratner parade, you never know who will show up at the Concert Against Ratnerville.

Update: The concert drew 1,400 people to see Dan Zanes, Toshi Reagon and many others. A couple of photos from DDDB are below, including one of Steve Buscemi. Excellent coverage, of course, at DDDB. GL will simply say that 1,400 people coming to a fundraiser on a Saturday morning should be some sign of the extent to which some in the neighborhood aren't feeling the Ratner-Gehry plans.
