    Calvert Vaux was the Architect not the landscape guy. Olmsted was the landscape guy. All the bridges, tunnels, etc (including Bow Bridge in Central Park) was Vaux. You didn't show Endale Arch! You owe me money. Just kidding. Love your vids! Big fans!

    I don't mean this super-seriously, but there's a thing you could call a "meadow" (if you really wanted to) in the Trinity River park in Dallas that's extremely huge. Literally miles long. Sometimes it's underwater.
