Well yes, there will be one. From July til October this year, a waterfall will be constructed on one of the towers of the Brooklyn Bridge. This will be one of four pieces of a public arts project by Olafur Eliasson (at a cost of about $15 million in private donations). The city seems to think this project will generate $55 million is tourist revenue. I think that's pretty high speculation but who am I to judge? Regardless it'll be pretty cool to see a waterfall under the Brooklyn Bridge. I'm gonna start taking bets now on how long it will be before some nutjob decides it's a fun idea to try to jump off the "Brooklyn Falls". With any luck they'll get sucked into the turbine water pumps at the base of the bridge.
