Artist helps Markowitz & Joe Chan Envision the future of Willoughby Square
When I opened my e-mail this morning, I couldn’t stop laughing at this cartoon that I received from a local Brooklyn artist! I couldn’t figure out who was with Markowitz on the $475,000 Brooklyn trolley, but I looked a bit harder and saw that it is the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership head, Joe Chan. Yes, this is the way Willoughby Square should look. It would be great to see 227 Duffield Street becomes a museum near the park, just as the Lefferts Historic House is in Prospect House. Downtown would benefit from a museum which shows Brooklyn’s history. Chatel would be a great museum curator as she knows building’s history!
Joe Chan made the cover of the Brooklyn Paper this week. It reads: “There’s a need for ongoing attention and problem solving to happen,” said Chan. “And that’s something that we are, and will be, focusing on.”I agree that Chan and Markowitz need to do some problem solving and pay attention to preserving the history of Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Underground Railroad will be a great stop on the under used, high ticket trolley.Brooklyn’s motto is Een Draght Mackt Maght which translates to In Unity there is Strength. This motto appears on the Brooklyn seal and Brooklyn flag. There is strength in this issue as many Brooklynites are calling for our history to be preserved in 227 Duffield Stree, The Brooklyn Underground Railroad Museum. Can you hear us, Markowitz?
Hugs,

Markowitz looks true to form in this cartoon. Joe Chan is worthless in helping anyone but himself. Greed has taken over the two of them.
