And as you can see from the above image, only a partial wipe (they skipped filling the line along the curb). No squares to spare I guess.

People’s choice award, a house paint logo image. Maybe I should submit an Aunt Jamima or Pillsbury Dough Boy sculpture?
I often chuckle about the people who make the public art selections in this (boom)town.
Remember this People’s Choice winner from Sculpture Walk 2014 (created by Lee Leuning and Sherri Treeby)? It will soon have a new home in the Washington Pavilion’s main lobby as you walk up to the VAC. Thank you City of Sioux Falls – Municipal Government and SculptureWalk!

There is a sucker born everyday, and probably 2 or 3 in Sioux Falls. I also find the irony of the ‘Dutch Boy’ (Girl? Boy? Transgender?) actually painting a REAL painting and not a house to be funny. Do you think that Lee Leuning and Sherri Treeby (the artists) are having a little joke with us? Nah. They are not that clever.

Boy, this new 125 foot ladder truck will come in handy when they need to start sandblasting the rust from the EC siding. Ironically, it kind of looks like what the truck was purchased for;
Sioux Falls Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Mark Bukovich said “the event center, a great facility, but one of the issues that we have with that facility is the setback, where we can park the fire trucks, in order to reach the roof. This ladder truck will give us a great advantage of getting to the roof, if we ever need to.”
At a cost of nearly one million dollars, the 125 foot tall ladder is a big investment for Sioux Falls, which should last a long time.
Oh, there is probably so much water behind the siding that you don’t have to worry to much about the EC catching on fire.
Does mold burn?
I heard rumblings about this truck about a month ago and the main reason it had to be purchased was because of the EC. It is no coincidence that the EC is 122 feet tall and the ladder is 125 feet.
I’ve told people if you think the $180 million + investment in the EC is the end of the bills coming in, you are crazy. The operating subsidies and maintenance each year will be a drain on the taxpayers for years. The economic impact of the facility will never equal the subsidies.

If you watch this episode of Planning Preview (FF: 11:05) it seems instead of a parking lot being planned for the vacated street, there is a re-zone from C-2 to C-4 so there could be unlimited parking and possible building structures (of enormous sizes).
You gotta wonder how much the city planning office knew about this re-zone, and what kind of advice they were giving Billion on how to approach the city council on this proposed zoning change?
This process will be fun to watch go through the Planning Commission and City Council approval.
