WTF!!! That park is a landmark! What the hell are they thinking? Just to replace it with something commercial I'm sure. Jez, what a complete shame. How can people let something like that happen? Couldn't anything have been done to stop it?
At 00:43 seconds..."Who cares what they feel." A smirking George Vellonakis, NYC Parks Department Designer, speaking about those who "...don't feel that all, every park needs the same character."
The City is destroying our park! Instead of care and renovation we are losing a historic public gathering place. Thank you for letting everyone know what is happening.
Damn...I live on Tompkins Square Park (a few blocks to the east) and I know what to expect once they renovate WSP; it will be a goddam precious park like Gramercy. Pretty soon, you'll need a key to get into all of them. Yeah, it sucks.
This is a big problem. I'm not from New York, but the few times I've been, I visited Washington Square Park to see real culture. To me, this park is New York. I walked through and was able to join in on the art and music. I never felt like an outsider. I guess, this is just another casualty of America's quest to look exactly the same everywhere you go. All hail the United States Of Generica.
I'm diggin' this vid and song, very nice!

Vellonikis has set heterosexual/homosexual relations in the Village back 50 years, as surely as O.J. did racial ones in L.A.

Damn man. This is so sad, and such an enormous waste of money and resources. But what a great way to spin a classic track. Right on point.
