The\u00a0Daily News\u00a0has a\u00a0story today about a proposed park near the Domino Sugar Factory. While the piece has great quotes from NAG board members\u00a0Stephanie Thayer\u00a0and\u00a0Evan Thies, my favorite quote came from as-far-as-I-know-ordinary-citizen Clive Smith, who said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The neighborhood is changing so much. It’s okay for them to build these huge condos on the waterfront, but there should also be open parkland, so everyone can run, walk, cycle and walk their dogs.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
