Have you seen the billboards in the Jewelry District with the giant pencils on them? Wondering what they were all about? Well go here to find out all about them.
4 weeks ago by gcpvd During the construction on the Financial District (aka East Downcity) part of Westminster, the street has been a de facto pedestrian street (the street was technically open to auto traffic when I took this picture). Maybe we're on to something? Maybe just a lunchtime shutdown?
2 months ago by gcpvd I understand the festival was postponed because of the rain, but having Atwells opened to traffic while it is set up for a festival is stupendously idiotic and dangerous.

I think maybe I don’t get art.
Did you go to the link and see the photo of the two billboards lined up? That’s pretty damn slick I think.
That’s a very nice little project…I wish they had a more direct way to link the explanation to the installation itself.
Cute, but the point of it will be lost on 99.9% of people.
Yeah, I saw the way they line up, and it is indeed cool, but if I saw it I would think “Oh, are they opening a new Staples?”.
Interesting design, for sure, and I love large scale art and advertisement in cities (something I wish would happen more here, since we certainly have enough blank walls), but I’m not sure if I care for the long winded abstract. A blank page with a picture of each billboard, and the shot of the two together is probably enough to make the point. And there should be a marker for this “designated spot.”
