EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT
A camouflaged cache awaits you within view of the Brooklyn Museum, a revered landmark site located in the grey area of Prospect Heights / Crown heights / Miscellaneous depending on how you look at it. P&G access. As always with our caches, stealth will be required. Play the role of the relaxed tourist if you must… ;) While in the area you can easily spend the better part of a day exploring the nearby Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, Brooklyn Zoo, Prospect Park and Brooklyn Library. Set aside some time and experience the cooler side of Brooklyn!
ABOUT THIS CACHE:
…While riding the long tired beaten path back home to Crown Heights one late night after one long day too many I found myself stopped at a red light by the Brooklyn Museum. While waiting an eternity for the light to change I glanced over towards a lamp post and saw a message that someone had left for anyone who should care to read it: “EVERY THING IS ALL RIGHT.” An encouraging mantra for anyone who dares undergo the trials of being a resident in NYC…sometimes we just need to hear it from another source and realize we’re all in this together.
Some time later the post was re-painted, and the words disappeared – but it wasn’t long before they re-appeared. The next year, the post was painted yet again and not long after the words returned. Years later to this day a trace of the words may still be found nearby.
While you’re here, you should visit The Brooklyn Museum. Here’s a little info about it:
The Brooklyn Museum is NYC's second largest museum in physical size and holds an art collection with roughly 1.5 million works. Founded in 1895, it was planned to be the largest art museum in the world at the time. The museum initially struggled to maintain its building and collection, only to be revitalized in the late 20th-century thanks to major renovations. Significant areas of the collection include antiquities, specifically their collection of Egyptian antiquities spanning over 3,000 years. African, Oceanic, and Japanese art make for notable antiquities collections as well. American art is heavily represented, starting at the Colonial period. The museum also has a memorial sculpture garden which features salvaged architectural elements from throughout New York City.
