Of all of Ido’s one-sided biased comments on Manhattan the worst were on Central Park, and you found them so profound and penetrating. On visiting Central Park he must have thought to himself, now how can knock this beautiful park? oh yes, it’s artificial, that’s what’s wrong with it. As they say: ‘give me a break’. What sort of park would you expect in the middle of a thriving city? a natural reserve with roaming grisly bears? If you want to see nature go to any of the many national parks not to Fifth Avenue.
And by the way, my hometown Ramat Gan used to pride itself for the many parks and gardens it had. I seem to remember that they were all artificial too.
