Reviews
The whale tail sculpture is perfectly located. I like the remodel and the sleek contemporary designs of the benches. If you’re a bit of a history buff, Perseverance Park is storied.

Act Three
Exodus, on the bus, movement of the ten people up this early to go to work.
The ten foot tall illuminated star in Preseverance Park has caught my eye, a park that has seating of cut blocks from a marble quarry.
I’ve sat upon one just for giggles.
I’ve only noticed a handful of people sitting on one in one year and a half in Syracuse.
The blocks with strange cuts have a sculptural quality and look tossed upon the corner lot by a neglectful giant.
The corner lot has a pavement of concrete, painted with a far out pattern of ribbons in blue.
The paint has faded as paint will fade when exposed to snow and rain and sun.
Painted on a steel box that hides a power panel, the story of the art project that transformed the corner has faded, also.
How soon until we can jack hammer the concrete and put in a garden, maybe an English formal garden?
With cute tables where office workers who handle paperwork in the twenty story high bank tower looking down on the corner can have lunch?
I think I overheard the public art committee holding a meeting last night when I visited a pop up gallery at the CoWorks building, part of the Commonspace complex.
Funny, I was taking pictures of oil paintings and no one in the art meeting, just gathering, held in an open area, asked me to join.
So I really have no idea just how such corners come to fruition. And maybe it’s better that way.

Its a plaza for nutjobs to protest. Nothing to do there but look at sweaters on trees.
