Sandy Sculpture doesn’t get knocked down by drunks
I was surprised to see this creepy sand sculpture still standing Sunday, when I was walking through Moore Square in downtown Raleigh.
The sandy sculpture went up for Artsplosure on May 17 and 18.
Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, but when you take into consideration that Moore Square is bounded on two sides by bars, a cynic might think some drunken dorks would run into it.
I’ve never been cynical though. So maybe good ol’ fashioned warning signs really work.
(Please don’t take this as encouragement to dive into the sculpture). Are you surprised this sandy creation was still standing a week later? Has anyone been down there since to see if it’s still there?

I haven’t seen it, but I would definitely agree. I am surprised that it survived even one night in downtown Raleigh…

What a weird theme: scary jug band? Whose idea was this, and what were they thinking? Maybe it’s too creepy to go near. Perhaps the Moore Square police horses could have a go at it.

I love the title. I think that I would read more newspapers and enjoy life more if there were more newspaper headlines that read like this.
