"When they were turned on in June, there was nothing but praise for them."

They must mean amongst themselves because we've all heard much to the contrary. Steiner sounds like an ass- he blew off everyone's concerns. For my money, turn them off. They're no big deal. I've seen water pouring out of a drainpipe that was more impressive. There is no evidence tourists are rushing to toss pots of money at them, and they are killing plants and trees.

The other day the wind was blowing the water backwards drenching a parking lot (I think that falls is in Red Hook?)behind it.

An enormous meh.

Yup, that's what I was quoted. But not for Jumbo Browno Stono. Got cash?

as i posted before the waterfalls just plain suck. and as noted before it is still causing rubbernecking on the bqe during the summer of 4 dollar plus gas, costing truckers and motorists probably hundreds of thousands of dollars while they spew off extra pollution. and before you write in and say they must be good because people are rubbernecking to see them people would look at anything that was different on the side of a highway.

did i mention they suck. what a waste of money. im going to take a shower now with a flashlight to duplicate this great artistic feat.

the article on the taco trucks made my mouth water. wish I had them around the office for lunch time.

I'm with you mule. Don't forget to make a video of your version. I'll help you market it as a tourist attraction. Hope the flashlight is water resistant and you have enough colored gels.
