The neglected Anable Basin -- which would be supercool if somehow the City broke the logjam on the zoning/use restrictions that seem to be holding back its development -- will get a tree tomorrow (if not a breakthrough, multi-use, progressively visionary residential project....like about 10 others up and down the waterfront).

A floating tree, actually.

Place in History invites you to the realization of A Tree for Anable Basin, the winning entry to its 2005 Long Island City Grounded Public Art Competition. The 24' floating aluminum tree and migratory waterfowl habitat will be unveiled this Saturday, October 27th, along the LIC waterfront.
