Keeping Out the RiffRaff
Fayette-nam continues its struggle to keep downtown PC.
Fayetteville’s Ordinance Review Committee is next on deck to define a public arts policy for the city.
....
“ We can’t say ‘ yes’ to one and ‘ no ’ to another, � said Coody. “ We’ve got to be careful about how we allow different things on public property. Because, once you start allowing several people to put things up, then you have to say ‘ yes’ to everybody who wants to put something up. �
Well of course we wouldn't want that. What's caused all the hubbub, bub?
He was talking about the Fallen Heroes Living Memorial which is now on the side of the Fayetteville Town Center on the Town Center Plaza, although that is not expected to be its permanent home.
“ It was supposed to be one thing; by the time it got installed, it was something very different, � explained Coody.
Originally expected to be a flagpole and a plaque, it is instead a flagpole and a monument. One side has a permanent plaque honoring one person; the other side recognizes those who paid for it; and the front is designed to have a plaque honoring a different veteran each month.
Got it? World Peace Fountain at Town Center good. Veterans' Memorial at Town Center bad. Why, the juxtaposition of the two might make some hippy's head asplode.
And we all know how messy that is.
