KEEP IT CURRENT

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.
