One of the many differences between the Bushwick area and Park Slope. Shall we compare 5th, and 7th Avenues, to Knickerbocker, and Broadway?

check out this and this , they might make you a little less angry. i personally would love to fish the reservoir. i hear that it is currently surrounded by tall weeds and marshland with no shore and definitely no boat launch. if they do it right, it will be nice to have something closer than prospect park lake.

at least if they paved it how about some nice bike paths. save money on blacktop, and create a path of transportation, and an area of recreation.

they want to reclaim it for ‘recreational facilities,’ whatever that means. can you recreate in a forest? additionally, the reservoir is smack dab in the middle of a bunch of different cemeteries, which is not the most festive of environs. although it is pretty beautiful around there actually.

if the city wants to ‘do something’ why don’t they sponsor the construction of the millions of units of affordable housing the city so desperately needs? that would generate endless jobs and give the politicos something to stand in front of for photographs. everybody wins!
