Sign #5 that spring is here - Washington Square Park is back in action.

I broke away from work today in order to trek to the Fedex's Leroy St. warehouse. In doing so I took a detour through Washington Square Park to see the newly re-opened and (sort of) re-aligned center plaza fountain. Village residents, tourists, and braces-wearing NYU kiddies alike have missed the park's welcoming accessibility for what seems like years now. Thankfully the park is here just in time for the weekend. Rejoice! The park looks spacious, inviting, and green - but was it necessary? I'll be back (hopefully this weekend) for more pictures. Until then, debate whether a symmetrical park or 24 hour subway service are more important.
