got lost in prospect park - where the hell was i?
so me and my dog were wandering around prospect park and ended up in a place we've never been. i'm not awesome with directions, but my guessimate is that it was to the northeast of grand army plaza. the main feature was 3 large round areas made of bricks, surrounded by bushes. there was some bamboo along the path that led up to it. the other main feature was a severe feeling of sketchiness, personified by the fact that the one or two other people there were just kind of standing around, seemingly not doing anything or talking to each other. sort of nearby was a shallow pond area with a partially submerged black plastic contractor's bag apparently containing large item in it, and some dingy looking mallard ducks paddling around. also there was more litter than in other parts of the park.
anyone know the name of the area i'm talking about? i looked on for a picture of the area in the "secret prospect" section of forgotten-ny.com, but no luck.

The Vale is in one of Prospect's more secluded areas and should be approached with caution."
It WAS the Vale of Cashmere! Wow, I'm so psyched. I feel like I found Avalon, but sketchy.
By the way, the litter = :safe: :safe: :safe: :safe: :safe:
I'm just sayin'
Before I had a dog, I had parks workers tell me to stay out of that part of the park unless I had a big dog. Haha.
I love this part of the park and I think the pond section (not the fountains) was in the movie Sophie's Choice. It's really beautiful in the movie.

:shock:
...I can't say Dude and I have ever seen male on female action there. Ok, we have never even seen a female there.
yup, local HIV/AIDS outreach organizations pass out condoms by the truckload.

Wow, Frankie Avalon was there and you outed him.
It was quite a sight.
*Interesting, the Firefox spell check doesn't recognize "fellating"*

Sounds like you stumbled into the filming of an updated version of MGM's, Esther Williams film ,The Magic Fountain
It's sad when Wikipedia calls someone a "former teen idol." Technically I'm a "former toddler," but I'd be bummed if a popular biography someday referred to me that way.
Anything else is just mere Massa turbulation (sic...no, really).
The Litter Mob seems to be practicing what is know as harm reduction:
The have accepted that men are going to have sex in the park, but want them to do in an way that doesn't hurt the plants.
