In Batman’s Gotham City, all the jails and asylums were on one small island next to the city… I like to think that was inspired by Roosevelt Island, which did used to be a tiny island of jails and hospitals next to Manhattan, until people put first affordable housing and, more recently, a very fancy Cornell Tech campus there. But they’ve preserved the remains of one of the early hospitals, and it’s one of my favorite sights on the island.
@illinilass It’s a “secret” or it used to be… there are more tourists taking selfies here recently than there used to be! My kids are going to a summer camp there so we have an excuse to be there a lot this summer, and it’s a very picturesque little place.
Oh good for your kids, you and 365! 😊
