foot portions. It was done in allnew hexstone and cobbles. 
    The east gate was closed. This gate was uncrewed and workers came 
and went without challenge or checks. They all had keys for the 
padlock on the gate. 
    New lamppoles dotted the drive and the park. Being that it was 
daytime they were turned off. So I can not tell for sure how they look 
at night. They are the classical 'city park' type of lamp, with a 
large 'acorn' globe and cage on top. They would in other towns be 
heavily deprecated for the side and up spray of light.
    Here in the City it is no longer acceptable to operate such 
wasteful light. We evolved a cunning strategy for the parks and many 
squares and plazas. We put up the outwardly nostalgic and historical 
poles. But the bulb and globe are of a new design that minimizes 
wasted light spray. The bulb is set high near the top of the globe so 
the metal cap of the cage partly shields it. The globe is fluted or 
ribbed to intercept outward rays and deflect them back to the ground.
    The result is a soft glowing globe from a distance but with a 
bright and even puddle of light around the pole. This extends about 4 
or 5 meters in diameter from the pole, enough to touch the puddle of 
the next lamp and thus light the paths and not the air. This lamp is 
the defacto standard in the City for all Parks Department properties. 
I can only assume, not yet having actually seen Roosevelt Park at 
night since the renovation, that these ones here are also of the same 
type. 
    The Planetarium itself is structurally complete. There remain, as 
seen thru the monocular, odds and ends work to be done inside the 
cube. Some temporary boards and scaffold lined the front of the cube. 
The grounds around the Planetarium looked swept and c
