Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village, New York City

Very COOL ursa....I am PROUD to have been raised only blocks from there on W. 12th (5th & 6th) too! I always felt this fountain whether it was broke or working was my backyard all the time.

Washington Square Park was well-renowned as a hotbed of social revolution not only in NYC but the rest of the country. On January 1917, Village residents Marcel Duchamp, John Sloan, Gertrude Drick and two others climbed atop the Arch, unfurled a tricolor, and declared Greenwich Village "a free and independent republic" free from racism, puritanical bullshit, and for the good of the free human spirit...as a moderate Socialist, I'm proud to have been born and raised there!!!
