Yesterday Sodapop and I were out for a stroll. We happened to walk past the gateway of Phillips to the Falls, and I noticed this plaque. It’s basically a commerative plaque about the $3 Million dollar street to nowhere. The plaque was not surprising. What surprised me was that not ONLY did Munson put his name on the plaque, but his FACE! Even though it doesn’t look like him. I can’t beleive that for 1) He didn’t even start the project, and 2) overspent on the project (and may have broke city charter in the process) had the nerve to put his face on the plaque! You would think Jeff Hazard and Craig Lloyd’s face would have been on there too, since they were pretty much given the land.

UnFcknbelivable!

For those who care, Watermelon played in SF last night. Good Show. Did some smoking Howlin’ Wolf.

Rumors have been circulating awhile that a foundry was going to be built in Sioux Falls, on 8th Street. But I kinda just blew it off. Building a foundry is a major undertaking, with construction, ventilation, blast furnace. I didn’t think it was possible. The rumors have resurfaced and the Visual Arts Commission is claiming there is already one built?

Does anybody know about this? You would think there would be a major announcement? Foundries are major assets to a community – they are also very dangerous, and certain precautions have to be made.

Maybe someone in cyberspace knows more?
