Closing Bell: Freddy's Last Call
Friday was supposed to be the last night for Freddy’s bar, the anti-Atlantic Yards stronghold which had been forced to close via eminent domain. They tacked on an extra night at the last minute, however, and photog Tracy Collins was there to document it in a Flickr photo set. Did any readers attend?

In the words of the Spunk Lads, who played to the sweaty, thrashing crowd in the back room:
THIS IS! WHAT! DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!
I thought that was Bob Vila…
“Because they had no idea why it was cool”
maybe they heard there was a Bob Vila look alike contest happening.
Because they had no idea why it was cool, just that someone said it was. Kind of the if everyone was jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you go too, sort of deal.
It’s not just him – it’s all the indifferent, ignorant, head-in-the-sand types who only think of the next party. Well, hope you’ll enjoy partying on a blocks-long parking lot surrounding a hideous monstrosity of an arena that none of you will be able to afford to enter.
Yeah, sounds totally disgusting that people might want to have a few drinks at a place they had heard was cool.
“I was there the night before and totally disgusted at the number of people who’d never been there before and didn’t know why they were there then, excpet that someone had told them it was “cool.”
This event was circulated on many NYC party email lists BY THE OWNER. So complain to him.
