	Street Level....Atlantic Avenue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Atlantic Avenue’s senery can change from a high-end shopping district, a fast food thruway, or a row auto body garages to flashing neon signs advertising cheap carwashes, or modest housing built near bodegas, chinese restaurants, gas stations, and yet more fast food.
		In the 1700s, Atlantic Avenue was just a private road terminating at Ralph Patchen’s farm on the river; in 1855 it was renamed Atlantic Street before earning Avenue status in the 1870s.
		The landscape of Atlantic Avenue is constantly evolving: this issue highlights some of the people and places of this historic district.

		Bob Diamond, of the Brooklyn Historical Trolley Society, rediscovered the existance of the Atlantic Avenue tunnel in the 1970s, and he and his sturdy volunteers dug this passageway to get in to the space.
		Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island were once laced with freight-train routes, carrying goods from ships and barges docked at Brooklyn piers further into Long Island for manufacturing, sale to residences, or to be loaded onto other barges for a trip across Long Island sound to continue further north.
		The East New York Tunnel could not have been part of the same route that was served by the Atlantic Avenue tunnel, as the Atlantic Avenue tunnel was out of use the by the 1860s and I believe this East New York Tunnel was built much later.

	Saudi Aramco World : Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue is a place where cultures rub off on each other: Arab culture is left a little more American, American culture a little more Arab.
		Helen Uniss Khouri, for instance, was born in Brooklyn into a distinguished family from Abeye on the eve of World War I; she did not travel to Lebanon until the late 1940's, and her sister Katherine Uniss Haddad never did get to go.
		It is the food stores on Atlantic Avenue that are central to the survival of Arab traditions in the new world, for they make it possible for fine Arab cooks to practice their art.

		The Atlantic Avenue Betterment Association used to help promote his tours, but as time passed, the merchants became less interested in tunnel tours, as did tourists.

	The Brooklyn Rail
		The Atlantic Yards CBA is lackluster by comparison to, say, the Staples agreement in Los Angeles, as was detailed in The Rail in January 2005.
		The Atlantic Yards project is meant to be the developer’s legacy, and redemption for his other ill-conceived projects in the borough.
		Should the Atlantic Yards be built, and should it prove to be a “blunder” as U.S. Congressman Major Owens predicted at a rally in March 2004, some culpability certainly lies with those who take their paramount task as journalists to be first on the scene to break another Forest City press event.
