Old Town Jazz weekend

While riding to Old Town this morning:

They are having a sidewalk sale.

They also have free live jazz music this weekend. This morning they had the FRCC Vocal Jazz Ensemble. I didn't take their picture because I reported on them on May 8th.

"Transcend"

Carved out of white marble by Collen Nyanhongo in 2007, this work of art was apparently placed in the wrong part of Old Town. It weighs 5 tons, and it annoys almost everyone who sees it. When asked what to do with it, one local wrote in "I need some fill for my driveway at my ranch in Texas". FoCo City Council has recommended it be moved to the corner of Mason and Maple.

This reminds me of the time I worked at Gould Electronics. The company bought a large (maybe 30 foot high) sculpture by Picasso called "The Bather". People driving along Golf road in Rolling Meadows, Illinois could see the sculpture and believed the work of art to be obscene. The company moved it about 100 yards behind some tall trees to make 'em happy... at a cost of 2 million clams!
