up at 7:03…
i woke up this morning at 7:03 with my head all a flutter about reverend billy’s talk at conflux yesterday. he works a lot with how much the idea and useage of public space has changed. he made a very poignant comment about how times square should really just be attached to jfk airport because it has basically been turned into an extension of the airplane terminal. this got me thinking about an article i read recently about how and possibly why fort greene park was removed from the nyc subway map. what does leaving major brooklyn parks off such a ubiquitous map say to brooklyn and the communities within it? does the fact that manhattan has become a shopping mall and a tourist’s city make beautiful brooklyn parks insignificant because they are not tourist destinations?
