Bye Bye Fountain

Bye bye old fountain!
For some reason I feel a little attached to the older pieces of Lincoln Center that are getting traded out for the new. Don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t be more excited that the complex is getting a beautiful redesign/face-lift, but having spent the past 13 years of my life walking through this place, and thinking about the history of what’s happened here before me…
I think about 7 years ago (maybe?) they took out the darker colored granite of Josie Robertson plaza (where the fountain is) and replaced it with concrete. The jack-hammered site was completely open, with granite chunks like Oreo cookie crumbles scattered all over the place. I reached down, picked up a little chunk, and it’s been in my theater case ever since.
A bird’s eye view of the Promenade of our theater. If you get the chance, try to come early for a show to go up to the various levels of the photo exhibit. It’s really interesting!
