These aren't mushrooms!
These pictures seem undramatic compared to the images of the atrocious condition of the Coney Island Boardwalk posted by The Gowanus Lounge (plus my shots just aren't very good.) Now that it looks like the Thor deal is dead, I'm hoping the powers that be will make like cyclones and FIX IT. Believe me, the people are worth it, even if not all can afford the expense of Sag Harbor in August.
In case it's not clear, these shots show the rusty and treacherous bases of metal signposts in evidence on the shores of Prospect Lake near the Vanderbilt playground. There's a bit of an erosion problem there, the unearthed tree roots make an interesting obstacle course for toddlers who come to feed the ducks, geese, sparrows, swans and pigeons you find mixed together there like olives at Fairway. Those roots also make curious seats from which to gaze at the lake and take in the breeze.
Too much digression; I wonder how/when/if these lethal weapons that jut from the ground will be removed. You barely notice them, they're camouflaged. I'd hate to see anyone fall on one of these bad boys.
