Art, scmart. First!
Posted by: Suzy Q | July 26, 2006 at 02:12 PM
"schmart" and second *hangs head*
Posted by: Suzy Q | July 26, 2006 at 02:12 PM
Shouldn't it be a big sofa ?
Posted by: Sean | July 26, 2006 at 02:14 PM
Yeah, I may be uncultured, but I just don't get it...
Posted by: 24-aholic | July 26, 2006 at 02:14 PM
shouldn't there be some kind of note under the pin?
Posted by: crossgirl | July 26, 2006 at 02:14 PM
oooooooooooh. a triplesimulpost!! sigh.
Posted by: crossgirl | July 26, 2006 at 02:15 PM
Suzy Q, let me be the FIRST of offer sympathies.
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 26, 2006 at 02:16 PM
I may be stoopid but ...sorry - just can't appreciate crap like that
Posted by: Siouxie | July 26, 2006 at 02:18 PM
Thanks, blurk. *sigh* Somehow second just doesn't feel the same as first.
Posted by: Suzy Q | July 26, 2006 at 02:21 PM
It's not art. It's kinda tacky. But I never fail to be amused by an over-sized push-pin.
Posted by: Bobbi | July 26, 2006 at 02:23 PM
"It's kinda tacky."
I don't know if you did that on purpose or not, Bobbi but...
*SNORK*

I bet the kite guys will make one of these now.

Next year, they are going to cover Davenport with a 37-square-mile Post-It note.
Posted by: Dave | July 26, 2006 at 02:30 PM
that was my first thought...kinda tacky
Posted by: Chaz | July 26, 2006 at 02:36 PM
Well, all of the cool designs were already taken, like the Giant Ball of String.
Posted by: almne | July 26, 2006 at 02:36 PM
*snork* @ Dave!
Christo perhaps????
Posted by: Siouxie | July 26, 2006 at 02:47 PM
My first thought when I saw this blog posting was "I wonder if I snail mailed a comment to the blog if they would type it in and post it."
Posted by: Brad | July 26, 2006 at 02:53 PM
My second thought after reading Siouxie Cruz's comment was "It's gonna fall over and kill two people."
Posted by: Brad | July 26, 2006 at 02:56 PM
*snork* @ post-it
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | July 26, 2006 at 02:58 PM
I dunno Dave. Don't PostIt® notes stick on their own? It seems like there should be a 37 square mile invoice from the artist covering the town.
Posted by: Brad | July 26, 2006 at 03:01 PM
Pretty soon Davenport's gonna end up on
this site
Posted by: Sarah J | July 26, 2006 at 03:48 PM
Are they trying to be as tacky as Cleveland? Home of the Free stamp art.
Posted by: jp | July 26, 2006 at 03:51 PM
oops! this site
Posted by: Sarah J | July 26, 2006 at 03:53 PM
Sarah, I thought I had seen some very strange art in my lifetime. Now I know I've been sheltered.
Posted by: bookworm | July 26, 2006 at 07:26 PM
I'm going to use my red push pin to find a new state to live in.....
Posted by: thisbearbites | July 27, 2006 at 12:41 AM
"But is it art, or a gimmick? Or does it matter?"
i took a poll here in the awfiss. we decided it didnt matter. however, a giant post it note would be great. we'd all go see that. but not a yellow one. too ordinary.
Posted by: queensbee | July 27, 2006 at 09:58 AM
Hasn't anyone in Davenport ever used Google Earth? That's what it reminds me of.
Posted by: Stev0 | July 27, 2006 at 11:05 AM
Sarah J - wow! great site, Thanks
Posted by: Melissa | July 27, 2006 at 12:34 PM
I don't get the point of this.
However, Philly has a 20 foot clothespin so, why not?
Posted by: Layzeeboy | July 27, 2006 at 12:58 PM
There's ANOTHER one. "I don't get the point of this."
*SNORK*
Are you guys doin' this on purpose?
Posted by: blurkernomore | July 27, 2006 at 01:48 PM
Would this qualify for a BULLETIN (board) BULLETIN (board) BULLETIN (board)? And I hope
Tim Patch didn't paint it.
Posted by: obi wan | July 28, 2006 at 10:49 AM
and Sarah J, OK, that site's not creepy... You found that site...how?
Posted by: obi wan | July 28, 2006 at 10:50 AM
I think I'm the only person that appreciates this. It's good fun -- "whimsical," even.
