Happy Saturday, Brooklyn! I’m your host Patrick Murray here with 3 new tracks to start your weekend.
First, today’s weather forecast:
Heavy snow early with highs of 20 and lows of 13.
Here are the top stories in Brooklyn today:
- Environmental activists urge the state to block a permit that would grant a controversial upgrade to a Greenpoint natural gas plant. National Grid’s plant plans include adding two new liquid gas vaporizers. Environmental groups are fighting to prevent new fossil-fuel machines from being set up in the city. (THE CITY)
- Regal UA attributed the closure of the long-running Court Street Theater on lease disagreements. The company claimed it was unable to complete negotiations with the landlord for fair and sustainable rent. Although often bringing a rowdy environment to life, the theater was loved by many downtown Brooklyn residents. (Brooklyn Daily Eagle)
