Here's a little New York Aquarium historical trivia...
The official city aquarium was originally located at "Castle Clinton" (that was DeWitt, not Bill) near Bowling Green at the southern tip of Manhattan. Robert Moses--there's his ugly head rearing up again--directed construction around the city for more than 30 years, and he had no use for it. What he really wanted to do was run an express highway right through lower Manhattan, and he actually didn't care whether the city had an aquarium or not. So he banished it to Coney Island. He figured that if it wound up closing down for lack of visitors, it was no problem for him.
Needless to say, he was dead wrong in his assumptions.
its tough shooting at aquariums, they are dark, the glass is a horror and the fish are moving..... most of ours we deleted
