the park is broken

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Today I went out to breakfast with Charlie, Andrea, and Kerry. Then we went to Point Pleasant park. That place has been simply devastated. It'd been a good decade (almost to the month) since I'd last been to the park, but it was nothing like I remember it being. Honestly, I think it's going to look a lot better once the fallen wood is out of there and they've got a chance to make a modern park out of it, perhaps with some gardens and specialty areas. One thing's for sure - the view at the tip is amazing now that you can actually see the water.

Halifax has a habit of being pretty conservative, though. I'm not sure they'll have the vision. They thought that the park compared with places like Vancouver's Stanley Park. Here's there chance to make it happen.
