23 February 2005:
Ok, so it's a little inappropriate, perhaps, to make the first new phillyskyline.com feature about a New York project, but hey, the phillyskyline.com team is a punctual lot. And we'll keep it brief. For the past two weeks, the art (and NYC) world has been abuzz over Christo and Jeanne-Claude's Gates, the 7500+ saffron (NOT ORANGE, OKAY) fabric-curtain-thingies throughout Central Park. Some people love them, some people hate them, but no matter which take you have, you have to admit they're ... there. Livelying up the otherwise brownness in these winter doldrums in New York, bringing Manhattanites (and indeed Philadelphians and Canadians and Japanese and Australians) to the Park in February for the first time, la la la. Anyway. Just take it for what it is, and rest assured we'll return to the regular phillyskyline.com programming very soon. Neighborhood tours of Kingsessing, Roxborough and Kensington are around the corner, as well as the long promised Mural and Camden tours. –B Love
