Man, every time I think I know enough about America and that their history couldn't possibly get worse, I learn something new. ๐
In German it would be the Linken Park
Left park, none beef.
Wheeeeeeeere's the beef?
and right side people can just get fucked eh? no park for those poor bastards
We do a little trolling
Do they have a reason for thinking it should be along the river?
I am a big fan of well dispersed and easily accessible green spaces distributed among cities for lots of reasons and am not sure I see the original intent.
Oof, sorry but there wasn't a predominately black settlement by the river to build it over so.
Yeah Seneca Village wasn't on the waterfront, it was right in the middle of the island. Plus, if you put a park on the waterfront, then the poors can enjoy the space without letting the wealthy monopolize it.
thanks goodness we fucked all those poor people. lol
bad geography
None Park with Left Beef.
Isn't the Hudson river basically an open toilet?
It was when the park was built. It probably still is
Left-side park, isnt that just kin il-sung?
Oww! Geography burn!
Who uses left or right to determine directions in the field of Geography can't burn anyone. He should have called it west side park.
