    The project is sponsored by The Daily News, and also includes free trolley service on weekends around the park to see all the lights.

    Oh - I saw the lights on the other day, and thought that I had missed the lighting... I must have happened along during a test run.

    i saw it up close last night, it was really cool.
    the best part was what the did in the fountain. they had these waves built out of chicken wire and covered with blue lights.

    i heard they have another installation at the 15th street entrance to the park.

    the tree is kind of lame, but the fountain is really cool.

    haven't seen any of the other three areas yet.

    First person to post one gets a drink from me at Happy Hour on Thursday!

    EDIT: No Googling or stock photos! It's got to be a recent pic with the new lights!

    Ok, partial credit on that one. You get a 10 oz. "pot" from Sheep Station.:wink:

    I'll still get an Imperial pint for the first person who posts a pic of the fountain! 8)

    Do they have pints rather than schooners and pots rather than middies?
