Design Trust Public Space Potluck Visiting Southpoint Park To See Water Views In All Directions - Last Chance Before Destroyed By Kahn/FDR Memorial
The Design Trust For Public Space have announced that they will be visiting Roosevelt Island's Southpoint Park tomorrow, Thursday July 9.
We're happy to announce that the next Public Space Potluck is coming up, next Thursday, July 9th at 6:30pm. As many of you correctly guessed, this month we'll be investigating the public space on the oft-forgotten, historically rich, public space paradise of Roosevelt Island. We will meet on the Southern tip of the island, in Southpoint Park, and 11 acre oasis with views in all directions....
Of course, it may be the last time to enjoy these great views of NYC skyline and waterfront in all directions if the Kahn/FDR Memorial Boondoggle supporters are able to secure the funding for their proposed project. No word yet if FERI has been able to convert any of the so-called pledges of approximately $4.2 million into real money, which is required before construction may proceed, despite having received the RIOC Board's approval.

So both the July 9 potluck and the August 8 movie are the last chance to enjoy the park before the FDR memorial is built? How many more last chances will there be?
i would love to see a vote of how many islanders actually go down to south point park for the views. most of you just booze up in trelis or complain about everything on the island in general, cause it's "cool" to be liberal.
