Yeah Seneca Village wasn't on the waterfront, it was right in the middle of the island. Plus, if you put a park on the waterfront, then the poors can enjoy the space without letting the wealthy monopolize it.
thanks goodness we fucked all those poor people. lol
Central park used to be an """urban blighted""" black community that was destroyed IIRC. Really unsavory stuff.
Man, every time I think I know enough about America and that their history couldn't possibly get worse, I learn something new. 😑
Have you heard of Lake Lanier in Georgia?
Left park, none beef.
Wheeeeeeeere's the beef?
In German it would be the Linken Park
Do they have a reason for thinking it should be along the river?
I am a big fan of well dispersed and easily accessible green spaces distributed among cities for lots of reasons and am not sure I see the original intent.
and right side people can just get fucked eh? no park for those poor bastards
We do a little trolling
None Park with Left Beef.
bad geography
Isn't the Hudson river basically an open toilet?
It was when the park was built. It probably still is
Left-side park, isnt that just kin il-sung?
Oww! Geography burn!
Who uses left or right to determine directions in the field of Geography can't burn anyone. He should have called it west side park.
