JULY 29, 2009 | CENTRAL PARK Sasha Blair-Goldensohn, a computer engineer at Google, is badly injured when a dead limb from an oak overhanging a walkway falls more than 30 feet.
Drips from the garden's tile-roofed walkways fall onto the poles, eventually producing intermittent clicks that visitors have likened to the chirping of birds, insects and frogs.
There may be a time when too much of this walkway has fallen away, at which point you'll need to make a sound judgment to let this idea pass.
Councilman Jess Talamantes' pitch to spend an estimated $87,000 over five years to pulse ambient music along walkways in downtown fell on critical ears this week, with two of his colleagues saying they'd rather focus on more important financial priorities.
The minimal, brutalist architecture with its modern materials, wide terraces, labyrinthine walkways and slab benches fell in and out of fashion and much of the space went unused.
If you dropped something through the drainage grates checkering the walkway, it would fall all the way down, I notice, clutching my wallet.
Astria Benton, a supervisor for Grady Emergency Medical Service, said paramedics had hiked down a deep ravine to the site of the collapse, where they found injured workers lying on the ground and atop the fallen walkway, whose lowest point had been about 10 feet high.
Swim toward the fallen walkway at the left side of the lake and climb onto it.
Then she flew up over the traffic, back to the building, crashed into the wall and fell onto the walkway below.
