RiverScape: Red Flags Over Charleston

A slightly color-saturated view along Kanawha Boulevard, full of flags. What is up with the Sasaki and Associates plan for the riverfront, Mayor Daniel? One hopes that the hullabaloo, the discord, the hoo-ha, the brouhaha (excuse me, as I make full use of my thesaurus searches), the ruckus over the possibility of shrinking the Boulevard to 3 or 2 lanes has not sent this estimable, meritorious, sterling, crackerjack, peachy (there I go again) gnarly plan into the circular file beside the good mayor’s desk?

The Blvd needs more colorful flags such as the ones that can be found along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia. I love walking down the “Avenue of Flags” in the summer. http://philadelphia.about.com/library/gallery/blparkway16.htm

That row of flags is so pleasing visually that I propose an ongoing artistic project: 4 times a year, West Virginia artists/crafters submit original flag designs which are then reviewed, picked, made and flown. One new set per season. I just can’t help it I am a visionary! Stop the visions!
