>=A0I think Henry Stern's argument is disingenuous.

 I agree .  I like Henry and his news letter is a good source on
 much of the grime and crime that goes on in politics around here=
 ,
 but I think he still considers the park his proprietary baby .
 If the lawn is not durable , wasn't that a glaring flaw in the
 the design of their restoration work ? I can see arguing for no
 camping there - best notion I've heard is the East River Park
 South of 23rd St - but what use is the lawn if not a venue for
 massive crowds ?

 I posted Stern's comments because that's what the platoons of
 cops keeping everybody off the place will claim .

 
BTW : I'm really sad that , partially because of my own MIA=
 status
 this last month , we will have no presence at the Mermaid=
 Parade
 tomorrow - not even an OPH booth on the boardwalk . 

 I may get out there just to see how many politicians do take
 advantage of the venue . Norm Siegel is one who did when he
 was running . ( well , I may glance at a mermaid or few too . )
