The Fulton Pedestrian Mall is no more. The backwards plan to turn the mall back over to the automobile is being implemented. 
The George Tsutakawa sculptural fountain and Garrett Eckbo designed pool are gone.
The Jan de Swart clock tower will be removed from the center of the mall and pushed to the corner.
No More Claire Falkenstein.


Stan Bitters, in jail.
This Bitters is gone.
Not that they were being taken care of when they were still there.
Peter Voulkos, caged and gone.

"Statement Piece: Erik Gronborg and Ehren Tool”  at the ASU Art Museum Brickyard / Ceramics Research Center
The Gronborg section
 Gronborg
 Gronborg with Ehren Tool in the background. Right before this, a mysterious person came out of a back room to tell the docent on duty to tell me that I couldn't take photos with my camera. I could only use my phone. Anyway, the rest of the photos of the Gronborg pieces and all of the Ehren Tool pieces came out so bad that I didn't post them. It's always better in person anyway. The exhibition runs through November 21st. Robert Arneson
