(Jul 26) I’ve been coming to this neighborhood for 13 years. At some point a patch of land indistinguishable from an abandoned dump turned into a park. It seemed to spring into being suddenly, though it must have been going on behind the fence for quite a while.
But first… The Asshole of the Day
The Diallo Mural has been brutally vandalized, undoubtedly by the landlord
More shhamefully, the city just re-armed one of the perpetrators.
There it is
Concrete Plant Park
Surrounded by multiple railroads on two sides
It’s pretty
At least the water doesn’t seem to be killing the birds
It has artistic value
But it detracts from the park overall, which needs every inch of usable space it can get.
Catching something
The river of scary water
Looking back at the wasted space
“High” speed trains.
There’s plenty of trains here though.
It’s part of the “Bronx River Greenway”
And then it was done
So I left
