When They Tore Down Washington Square Park

[attikaland]

I found your website, thanks for what you are doing for Washington Square park. Your singing voice was is beautiful. I like very much also the attuned and distinguished way you represent all those complex, deep and difficult feelings around the Park s fate. And the music is lovable too. Congratulations to both of you!

The Park has meant much for me too over the years. It s been the place I felt most "at home" in N Y city. I hope this feeling won t be destroyed.

The main weapon that the shadowy people have used to achieve their goals with WSP has been secrecy. I don't know all the details but plans were withheld from the community until the very last minute. Perhaps there are plans to put private concessions into WSP, just like the popular and lucrative "Shake Shack" in Madison Square Park. After all, money rules what happens in Manhattan. Follow the money and you'll see why this happened.

I was not aware that NYC has now allowed developers to build up more buildings in WSP. Sad to see a historic place like that screwed up in the interest of money. But it has happened in Coney Island and elsewhere so it should come as no surprise.
