  So in this energy-expensive time, how much energy is expended on these waterfalls?

  And are these waterfalls anything more than Cristo-Gates envy by Olafur Eliasson?

  The importance of water and the calming influence on people can not be overstated. Your guest's final comment underscored this. That is why what the Yankees did by removing waterfront park land from the local community was such a crime. There is no reason for a stadium [where the attention is focused away from the scenery] had to be located on the only waterfront park land for the neighborhood. Don't the recreational and emotional needs of people uptown count?

  Macy's used to do the July 4th fireworks up along the Hudson on barges so many more people could participate. Now it is just in the harbor and I have not seen it since. Likewise, these new river fountains-- are they uptown? Don't we count?

  Why does everyone think anything new or different must be a fraud or a waste of time? And what is art anyway -- the Mona Lisa? It's too clever to make fun of something you've never seen. So what's your great idea? The installation in the Turbine Room was just gorgeous -- a total sensory experience. Go see the exhibit at MOMA -- it's fun and it's free on Fridays after 5:00. Expand your horizons.
