Every Brooklynite but one took a double-take when they read this NY Post headline: “SCORE ONE FOR GOOD GUYS: B'KLYN ARENA FINALLY RISING AMID THE RUIN.” The one who didn’t was the one who wrote it; Cobble Hill resident Andrea Peyser, infamous for her cut-throat-cum-tacky column. (She once called Christiane Amanpour a “war slut”.) In this column she describes a stroll she took with her buddy Ratner around the Atlantic Yards site and celebrates his persistence and vision for the “horrendously blighted” area. “Ratner gets turned on by building things,” she writes (turned on). While strolling, the arena-and-parks slut found a pile of hypodermic syringes, seven of them. If she only knew how many people right now in Brooklyn are wishing she had stepped on one. NY Magazine has an interesting feature on her. They make it sound as if her face is more redeveloped than the Atlantic Yards ever will be.(Photo by Michael O'Neill)
