While the dirt movers are f’ing around on the proposed Southside Walmart, which is in the middle of litigation, this photo after about 1.25″ of rain is discouraging. Maybe the construction trailers should be on pontoons?
The Sioux Falls city council had a discussion today during the informational about what to do with the problem at Heritage Park. I have no idea of what a solution would look like, it’s like whack a mole. But I do see how this came about.
• Concentrating all the poor and homeless services into one neighborhood (deciding to put the Bishop Dudley house next to the Banquet).
• Allowing alcohol in some parks but not in others (eliminate it in all parks).
• Lots of poor and impoverished people in Sioux Falls (crap wages).
The city council isn’t going to solve this problem overnight, but first they have to look at the symptoms of the disease and realize where they messed up, then correct the bad decisions that were made in the past.
So I was watching the mayor running around after the 4th of July parade at Falls Park, telling people to get free ice cream (frozen corn syrup), and I run into Eggbert.
AÂ friend posted on FB today asking what happened to the sculpture. I explained that it has been removed and put in storage until another spot can be found. The land at that location has been purchased. Councilor Kenny Anderson was kind enough to also post this;
Scott is correct the display is in storage and the city is looking at repairs that need to be completed before selecting a new location. Damage is extensive from what I was told.
I wonder what damage it has? And if that was sustained during it’s removal or if it has hail damage? I hope it doesn’t stay in hiding for several years like the Statue of David.
