What does that do for a neighborhood? The Highline just opened in my neighborhood and it’s hard to say why exactly it is so magical. But it is, and it makes the nasty ole meat market as lovely as an Italian town. Does something like the BBG, maybe, make Brooklyn feel more like a village? I like your connection to Grover:” It was as if by building a wall around a certain space we had been given permission to look very, very closely, in a way that is usually seen as strange when done outside that wall” Remind me if I forget to talk about the entrance ways. juri and ruxy also talked about that.
