What I really regret about the new Observatory is not being able to do just that. It used to be a place where you could drive right up, and enjoy the terraces with their beautiful view of the City and the stars, and take a gander through the rooftop telescope at the moon or Mars or whatever celestrial happening was most interesting that week.

I hope those days are not gone for good.


Guess I'll wait about a year before I attempt a visit.



(and frankly, considering the astoundingly magnificent architectural and exhibition improvements done to New York's Hayden Planetarium, I find the revamp of the Griffith Observatory rather underwhelming and provincial.)
