The cube is so overrated. Let it stay in its undisclosed location.

Once, I had a dream that the Cube had been painted like a Rubik's Cube and everyone was twisting it. I thought the dream was real and was very disappointed when I saw the Cube the next day.

the cube in ann arbor was especially nice when naked people would spin on it. no longer though, no longer.

the intelligencer column about the return says: "The Parks Department says that Alamo will be back by the end of the month. Schaefer says that the last he’d heard it was going to be picked up November 14. It’ll be driven to the city and later lowered into place by a “boom truck.” It’ll take two hours, and they’ll do it before 8 a.m.,” he says. So for late-rising downtowners, its return will be as miraculous as its departure." I take this to mean that that Alamo would be picked up on Nov 14th from its hiding place, but not necessarily put back until after that, sometime by the end of the month. When it does happen, though, it will be before 8am. lets keep our fingers crossed on this one!

cube is definitely not there... but it looks like they're building (?) a garden/grassy area of sorts next to the "undulating" building at astor place.
