Right This Way to The Waterfalls
In case you didn’t get your fill of the Waterfalls yesterday, we’ve got one more post for ya: A reader drew our attention to these pictographs that now dot the streets in Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights. The shot above comes from the bottom of York Street and the one on the jump comes, via the…
In case you didn’t get your fill of the Waterfalls yesterday, we’ve got one more post for ya: A reader drew our attention to these pictographs that now dot the streets in Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights. The shot above comes from the bottom of York Street and the one on the jump comes, via the reader, from the corner of Henry and Clark. Makes sense—we’d guesstimate that about half the lunchtime crowd at the Pop-Up Park yesterday were European tourists.

i’ve looked at them from my office window and the one by the BQE looks frail and lame. The one under the BB is much more substantial. But really, who cares? These things just aren’t that cool looking … or am I missing some larger metaphysical meaning?
10:37- does doing that really make you feel like a man? Because sad to say, you aren’t more than a pathetic little weasel who can’t stand anyone else doing anything meaningful. You need to get a life.
Because he a pussy.
FGG,
You’ll never ride a bike across a bridge. You know this already.
it was actually a little bit nicer knowing it was supposed to be a waterfall than when it was turned to be a waterfall.
I love the fact the towers are surrounded by a buoy ring to prevent solid matter from being sucked up. I remember back in the 70’s seeing parts of a giraffe floating down the East River.
The water flowing from my shower heads is more artistic than this crap.
nobody will be saying “remember those waterfalls last summer , they where awesome what a great idea”
And if someone gets hurt at the scene or sick from something…? Liability…?
Will they sue the City?
How much City overtime was paid to secure those areas?
I’m sure someone has factored in what the City’s costs were to make this happen…
It’s the same with civic events like parades…someone has to pay for the cops and clean-up and usually the organizers do not cover all the costs incurred by NYPD and Sanitation.
Just ugly anyway. That scaffolding looks terrible.
To the person above who wrote that the drawings for the project looked much better: This is NEARLY always the case. The drawings were nothing but artist’s renditions. Same with unbuilt condos and AY. Looks okay positively lush and green, or sleek and perfection constructed in computer aided photo mock-ups, watercolours or pastels!
