Dear Diary:

I was sitting the other day in the ever-growing, ever more beautiful Brooklyn Bridge Park. I was near Old Dock Street and the warehouses there, at the point of the pie-wedge-shaped area between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, Dumbo to my right hand.

I wonder, as it is completed there near Jane's Carousel now, why we cannot have Bambi to sit beside Dumbo.

You know, Bambi: “Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge Interspace.”

I long for Jiminy Cricket.
