This is BS

They're going to wreck Sherwood Island. They plan on building a 9/11 "memorial" on the point, allegedly facing the Manhattan skyline, which you CANNOT see from Sherwood Island. What a crock of crap. Here are the sad details of this expensive joke: Sept. 11 Living Memorial.

The "Friends" of Sherwood have been pretty systematically wrecking it -- last summer, they tore out all of the beautiful beach plums. I wish to god they'd just leave the place alone. This memorial makes no sense -- who the hell will travel to CT and pay $10 to see four trees? It's just the destruction of a nice, clear view of the sound. Sure they chose Sherwood -- just put it someplace out of the way. God forbid it should go in Greenwich. It's meaningless.
