Target? The Daily News? Anyone out there with money want to make Prospect Park all pretty for the holiday season.
What fun it was last year when all the entrances to the park were festooned with attractive LED lighting. What a lift. The LED display was such a pleasure to behold last year.
Gowanus Lounge writes today that (and I quote) "the LED display that lit up all the park entrances last year won’t be going up.
We checked on them yesterday and were told that an announcement about
Grand Army Plaza will be forthcoming from the Mayor’s office, and that
a lighting ceremony is scheduled for December 3rd."
Our friend over at GL goes on to report that it has something to do
with budgetary concerns. Understandably we’re all a little
disappointed. Last year, it was so tastefully done, not gawdy or
glitzy at all. Festive and fun are the words I would use.
LED lights, will, thankfully, grace Grand Army Plaza. But last year’s
was special because it included all corners of the park and that felt
very, well, inclusive and connecting.
So come on. Any corporate sponsor out there want to help? Call the Mayor’s office and write a big check.
