I'm happy to report that Liberty State Park is almost back to its old, half-assed-landscaped self. The barricades are down, Dept. of Corrections guards departed, the parking lot is now empty land again (albeit covered with straw and some weird turquoise stuff instead of grass) and the giant dirt pile is 3/4 gone. The golf course geese have moved over to the ex-parking lot and are happily crapping all over it. 9/11 hit the park like a massive anthrax vaccination, but the side affects are slowly fading; it's been interesting watching (in microcosm) how much energy we devote to tragedy after it happens.
