Went back to The New School for the first time in almost two months to find the courtyard transformed! The lush new planting regime is getting lusher and lusher, rich greens coming from above and below. The transformation is almost cinematic! Then came a delicious
surprise. A string of people dressed like folks from the glory days of The New School in the 1940 started to flow across the courtyard. Turns out someone was shooting a movie scene in the big auditorium, and the extras had to cross the courtyard to pick up their lunches. Past and present blurred for a moment.
