Re: “Art 180 Portrait Missing”
I hereby retract my accusation of Will Weaver. I was merely trying to satirically copy the format of his own post and take it to a similarly ridiculous conclusion. I do hope that this has not caused a scandal with any one and I want to publicly apologize to Will who I'm quite sure is a stand up guy. This who debacle has been propagated from day one on rumor, innuendo, and baseless accusations that have rarely been rooted in reality. The most likely fate of this piece is that youths stole it. Youths!!!!!
Re: “UPDATE: Chalking It Up”
Getting permission to put large scale public art on private property is VERY different from writing or drawing on rocks in a public park. Its not a mixed message at all. The argument could also be made that the urban landscape needs art to be beautified and nature does not. One has been commissioned and condoned the other is not. The issue here is the respect of nature. I was taught as a youth to "take only pictures and leave only foot prints", a maxim that goes a long way to making sure that people can enjoy our natural resources equally and forever. As a former janitor I can tell you also that chalk doesn't come of as easily as is claimed by many commenters seem to think.

Re: “Art 180 Portrait Missing”
Kadie, you are an excellent detective! But since my IQ is 13 I do thoroughly agree that the art on the median is not disturbing nature in the slightest, and is instead a welcome addition to the stuffy and backwards display memorializing persons who I understand to be combatants that fought against my beloved United States.
