#2... not new, been hear for a while, I just disagree with that project coming to fruition, and what it's about. Hang out in the subways after a big rain storm and you'll see waterfalls in the city. The waterfalls project is about an artist who has had the luck of becoming successful and now people will throw money at any idea he comes up with. There's amazing artists that specialize in public space projects and this is an example of an established artist going in the opposite direction. It's the same with Doug Aken's silly projections on the outside of the moma. Yup it's big, and big is fun, and that's what money can buy. On the other hand watching the fireboats that spray in the river is beautiful and more art than this fabricated nature. This is as great as Wildwater kingdom.

Without the presence of the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Borough's subsequent annexation by New York City, there's no way a lightweight like Marty would be running anything more taxing than a whelk stand. No wonder the little toad is celebrating.
