Dear Editor,
Could someone please explain to me the eyesore that has recently appeared at the south end of No. 2 Road, on the river side of the new condominium complex?
Initially, I thought it was part of the construction project — a large steel skip for dumping the waste, as it looks old and corroded with graffiti scratched into it. But on closer inspection, I noticed it has a phoney spine of vertebrae down the centre from which protrude some rusting metal ribs. Some attempt at a beached whale carcass perhaps?
Is this supposed to be some form of public “art,” designed to enhance the natural beauty of what is, otherwise, a very attractive waterfront? If it is, I’m afraid to say it fails miserably.
Please reassure me that this is just a temporary fixture, and that we can look forward to its timely removal.
