[bomp] destroying FREEDOMLAND
If you come to NYC, and see something that doesn't make any sense -- a
highway interchange, a collection of buildings, a blind intersection, some
badly
used park space -- and it looks like it's between 35 and 55 years old --
he did it.
Robert Moses did more harm to this city than Osama Bin Laden.
(I erased and re-wrote that last sentence three times, because I know how
awful that sounds -- but y'know what? It's the truth.)

If he had anything to do with getting rid of FREEDOMLAND, that's another
reason to loathe Robert Moses. I enjoyed that park immensely in 1963. We, from
'60s L.A., are all pro-theme park, you must understand...
I liked that FREEDOMLAND story in the WFMU mag recently, the recounting of
Louis Armstrong walkin' down the main thoroughfare playin' "Hello Dolly,"
goodness-gracious!!!
