How about South Street Seaport, will one has a good view from there--not that I am dying to see this, but it's close to where I work

the opinion was formed when they did the test run last week.

I usually like to form an opinion before I know what I'm talking about. Just to seem hip and cool. If somebody calls me on it I just agree with them.

Uh. That came out wrong. Proofread your writing people, take it from me. What I meant to write is that it may be best to see the work prior to formulating an opinion, as per Dr. Zippy.

I do agree with the good Dr. Zippy that it may be best to formulate an opinion first, but from what I know of Mr. Eliasson's work I can't say that it's accurate to say that it's a work of art first and a feat of engineering second. Consideration of the work should probably take what it has taken to get the work up into account, and the affect of the structure as part of the work. Which is to say that the falling water isn't the only thing that you can consider.

Here's a couple of crazy idea for all you art lovers: 1. See the waterfalls first, then formulate an opinion. 2. Take into consideration that physical execution of the idea may be less important that what the waterfalls represent. Remember, it's a work of art first and an engineering feat second.

Do we still have Niagara Falls?

Although I've had a few beers, can someone tell me what I am missing here?

It's nice at a 3/4th angle. From straight on it's not that breathtaking to be honest.

I am so so excited about this launch. Not quite as excited as when they unveiled the new colors for the 2002 fall collection of Tommy Hilfiger, but still excited.

I just don't understand the allure... Maybe I'll get it if I happen to catch a glance.
