Ready for its Closeup

Washington Square Park regulars have been waiting for what seems like two years to get a glimpse at the new fountain. Last night it was up and running for what I think was the first time. So did the many onlookers who expressed surprise. Now if only Bloomie would get his ass downtown to open the west side of the park (and no doubt take credit for it)...and let the east side "renovations" begin.

I think it looks delightful! Or maybe it's just your wonderful photo. I love that deep blue evening sky.

Beautiful. When I lived on E.17th in the late 70s we couldn't imagine a fountain like this. (Or Union Square being safe AND popular.)

Very nice ... I just hope it doesn't get so gentrified that you can't catch the buskers and pot-smokers on warm summer nights around 10 pm.
