People supposedly started gathering here in the 70’s to do much of what we do today. You can see this as many of the same older individuals still come religiously on the weekends. People are always creating little sculptures in the sand or with rocks that are less permanent but give the site even more character. It has been physically shaped by the city when they cut a large amount of trees down years ago so police could more effectively observe people from the path.

Microphone revolutionized a new style of programming in which the creator “would simply record the beauty of everyday conversation... pure eavesdropping” (Funt & Reed, 1994, p. 26). Although this specific format was short-lived, as Funt believed these hidden recordings did not contain enough drama (Nadis, 2007). For further development, Funt engaged with his subject, provoking an unrehearsed performance that would test the virtue and character of an individual; it was this improvement that became the…
