I agree, we need people to come to New York and spend money, not just wreck our stuff and leave. Boston didn't get the economic boom it was expecting from the convention, and I don't believe New York will either.

Does anyone have $18 million to pony up so we can re-seed the lawn after everyone is done trampling it? Probably not. So please, stay off the goddamn lawn. There are plenty of other places to go, just as some said to me, there are many more attractions in the city to go see that one day. Well, there are lots of other places you can go to protest, so please go there. There was a whole schedule in the paper today. And in the event you do decide to go to the Park, no one is stopping you. There will be police there, but they'll be police everywhere in the city that week, so that's nothing special, so please don't complain.

In case anyone wants to see the before and after pictures of Central Park, (before the grass was restored) you can go to www.centralparknyc.org.
