Re: your June 18 article, "Renovation of Bus Home begins":
As I passed the art monstrosity and saw scaffolding, I thought, "Oh boy, they're going to finally tear it down!" Then I read in the paper that they are going to spend more than $100,000 to paint it.
For $100,000, I could build an igloo 100 feet in diameter with room on the south side for 100 bus passengers to stay out of the rain and the rest a dance hall. Every five years, they could open a hole in the top of the roof and pour $1,000 worth of multicolored paint, which could dribble down the sides with no labor involved. It could be called "The Psychedelic Igloo" or, even better, "The Jim Johnson Psychedelic Igloo." Wow! That would be a monument!
