Less shade now in Tompkins Square Park

As you know, Hurricane Irene took out many trees in the neighborhood this part weekend... we lost a handful in Tompkins Square Park too, including my favorite right in the middle of the Park (an area some people have dubbed Crusty Meadow) ...

I took these shots in the late spring... thinking it would make for a gag post, such as "tree-bending culprit captured on film!"



And after the storm ...


Yesterday, Bobby Williams noted the workers have removed the tree...



Which means more sun and space for sunbathing here in the quad...

    Don't you feel a little bit guilty about pulling that tree down to a point where H.Irene could finish the job?
