News Dumbo's Vintage Carousel Finally Gets a Home

Those plans, for various reasons, never quite panned out... Until now! The Brooklyn Paper reports that the beautiful old ride, known affectionately as "Jane's Carousel," has just been granted a spot in Brooklyn Bridge Park, which is in the midst of a massive expansion along the Brooklyn Heights waterfront. Of course, it probably helped that the Walentases threw "$3.45 million to landscape and operate it past the park’s closing time" and the Nouvel pavilion into the deal. What's next, a jungle gym in McCarren Park designed by Frank Gehry? (This would actually be awesome; rich architecture patrons reading this should get on that.)
