When Obama Came to Washington Square Park

June 1st, 2008

Barak Obama came to the park in September of 2007 and delivered a stirring speech to hundreds. While it was great to see our President-elect there, I wonder if he was even aware that this beloved historic park was soon to be destroyed and completely redesigned spending unnecessarily millions, in a time of economic hardship for the city, for a redesign ‘the people’ clearly did not want.
