Just hoping that the “Historic design originally envisioned by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, Prospect Park’s designers”, did not include any of the ugly black chain link fences….

They also have 130 Livingston in Brooklyn and who knows what else (I think 342 Madison).
No Dave the other drummer fell down the elevator shaft. Bad time to be an indie rock drummer.
