Goverthing's jukebox, still functioning, filled with the same song by the local "Nightingale"
I experienced the 'archaeological dig' on Governors Island a few weeks back, and was completely entranced by the bizarreness of this town's reality. Now, after a few conversations and a little research about it's authenticity, I might feel duped. I'm not sure yet. But this quote from a NY Times article about Goverthing -- from Geert Hautekiet, the Exhibition Specialist in charge out there -- is not helping Goverthing real-dealiness: “And also, maybe, that you should never trust Belgians,” he added, smiling. “But that’s off the record.” (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/19/arts/19archaeology.html)
Your input on this matter is welcome. I'll even keep a log of votes: Real or Memorex?
