The Barnes Dance is being phased out in the city where it was born (that’s right, Henry Barnes worked there before moving to NYC). It’s apparently a victim of (increasingly popular, it seems) light rail, which just goes to show how transportation planning for intersections, as one person once described it to me, is like apportioning a pie among a variety of hungry users — you can’t add to one share without taking away from somewhere else.
