Rare shipshape sam Posted November 5, 2010 #26 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Saw the show last night and it was very interesting. Richard Fain wanted the merry go round and that is why there is one.:) Also, interesting was the original concept of central park that did NOT get built.

Central Park turned out to be VERY nice. Sitting outside in the evening dining at Chops or Giovanni's is nice. The designers got it right.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting outside in the evening dining at Chops or Giovanni's is nice. The designers got it right.:) Yes -- I agreed with the guy in the meeting who thought the two grassy areas would not be used. I can lay in the grass at home [and don't -- makes me itch]. If I want to sit outside and read, or whatever, give me a chair. The final concept is much better. Of course they passed up a big nickel and diming opportunity -- renting picnic blankets for $5 an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fury1995 Posted November 5, 2010 #29 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I can't even fathom the idea that two large grassy knolls were the original concept for Central Park.... yawn. So glad that idea didn't make it past the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
