Sunny Day, Everything's A-OK

So they reopened Washington Square Park this week, after a year and a half and millions of dollars, they have moved the fountain at the center of the park, so that it is perfectly aligned with the arch. (Apparently, they had to dig up the whole park to move the fountain by 30 feet.) But people were out in force on Friday afternoon to begin the holiday weekend, little kids were stomping around in the fountain and a couple rough around-the-edges guys were washing their feet.

But from the department of how cool is it to live in New York, they were filming Sesame Street in the park, using the fountain as a background! The poor guy under the puppet had sweat pouring down his face -- it looks like it's really hot under there. This was way more cool than when I almost walked into Jennifer Aniston that time in Brooklyn.
