Last week saw the Lightstone Group attempt to win some friends in Gowanus by staging an art show along the construction site of their 700-unit rental project, complete with free food trucks. However, a group of Gowanus artists and activists from the neighborhood were having none of it, with over a dozen protestors disrupting the festivities. Said one twenty-year resident and protestor: "We wanted to raise awareness that there are already artists living in Gowanus who are going to be priced out by Lightstone." [BP; previously]
