Steel Rising at Jane's Carousel
Work is now happening in earnest on the future home of Jane’s Carousel. This photo from today shows some vertical action at the site on the Dumbo waterfront. The antique carousel will be enclosed by a Jean Nouvel-designed glass structure, and it’s supposed to be good to go by the end of the summer. Update…

Am I the only one who finds *rob* jejune and puerile?

Am I the only one who finds *rob* jejune and puerile?
this portion of the park is small
quote:
Jane’s husband developed the majority of DUMBO.

(tho i love tribeca.. the buildings and layout, just not the people)
*rob*
Rob, Jane’s husband developed the majority of DUMBO.
hahahah eh, totally. wasn’t the actual jane some spoiled little brat? im not too familiar with the backstory of it, but something like that..
*rob*
Giant eye sore at the edge of the park just to stoke Jane’s ego.
A carousel also generates some much-needed revenue the Parks Department is seeking to cover the cost of park maintenance.
am i the only one who finds carousels jejune and puerile? not to mention a complete and utter eyesore being out in the open like, especially on the waterfront? horrible. there’s a gazillion better things that could have been put there. prime waterfront catering to children of all thing..
a great quote:
“As a mother of 2 children who GOT TO have hers and did basically nothing to help the cause of population control, I remain sincerely INDEBTED and GRATEFUL to any person who consciously CHOOSES to not reproduce. If you end up in a nursing home, with no one to visit you in those later years, I will teach my children to bring you a flower – simply because they were able to breathe a little bit easier in this world due to you.”
