I guess I would like something that was less corny and garish. It seems like its purpose is to welcome visitors to downtown Seattle and it sets up the downtown for failure in my mind. As far as purpose goes, I think art can be decorative and pretty to look at and/or thought-provoking. This is neither. John,
