It seems that it's for an elite few as it's sort of out of the way except for the hotel guests there...and it took away precious parking spaces...and, I would not be enticed to hang out there...our weatherman up here keeps talking about "pop up showers." For some reason, I don't take to that.

Public art, for one thing. Kinetic sculpture. Doors like EG Camera Girl has been featuring. Buskers as in Ottawa.

This felt like throwing some old rugs onto your garage floor and making some benches from old wood.

We have a VERY modern artistic rendition of the Wright B Flyer right in the middle of Main St. Here in Dayton, OH. All stainless and I think it's suppose to represent the length of the first flight.
