Thinking About Central Park - On Point
July 10, 2012 at 11:00 AM - 46 min
Thinking About Central Park 19 writers on the magic of Central Park.
New York City’s Central Park is a place and a state of mind. The oasis in the midst of frenetic life. The dream of ordered nature – just a little wild – within reach of urban life. From the sky, it’s that striking, great green rectangle laid out in the heart of an island metropolis. On the ground, it’s 843 acres of memories and legend and lore. Favorite haunt of movie makers. Summer concerts. Strolling lovers. Stolen moments. A new anthology captures nineteen writers on the mystique of Central Park. This hour, On Point: it’s summertime, and we’re going to the park. -Tom Ashbrook
