EVEN CLEVER CAN GO STALE
Below is a photo of a river front project. Exactly what it is, I am not sure. It is either a knitted art project for the potted trees or it is scarf give away for the local homeless. Whichever it actually is; there are problems. If it is knitted art, the project has been kept up too long and the colors have faded in the summer sun. If it a scarf give away; the season of need has past and the scarves have rotted away. In any event, the the lesson is the same; if your downtown has similar projects, they need to be kept up and kept relevant. Many, many projects are put up and then left to experience a long, painful death. If you are going to the trouble of undertaking a project, keep it fresh and relevant. Once the project is deemed old, remove it and replace it with something else.
