ATTN, NYC Reasonoids: Reason.tv urban renewal doc and Battle for Brooklyn screening tomorrow
Tomorrow night, my Reason.tv documentary short, The Tragedy of Urban Renewal, will open for Battle for Brooklyn (which was recently shortlisted for the Oscars) at Maysles Cinema in Harlem.

We'll be talking Robert Moses, Atlantic Yards, and eminent domain abuse in the 1950s vs. today.

WHEN: Tomorrow, December 1, at 7:30PM.
