Jenna and I went down to Liberty Square/Zuccotti Park today. They were doing a big thanksgiving food kitchen/occu-pie event and it seemed like the perfect way to spend part of the day.

It was a bit odd considering how packed/dynamic that space was last time I visited. Very low-key, not a huge crowd, but they had plenty of food to give out.

Jenna did a better job than I can giving an overview of what was there http://lowereastsidelibrarian.info/occupy-thanksgiving and my full set of photos is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericgoldhagen/tags/occupie/

Today's photo is police barricades reinforced with plastic handcuffs, a fine icon of the waste and overreaction of the City to the OWS protests.

got there right after FDNY put out the fire

yeah, it's not a trash photo but seagulls eat trash, right? that's close enough.
