This used to be the parking lot for Expo, an overpriced home depot essentially, which went out of business years ago. While they were here, this section of the parking lot was given thought and attention and received public art, a lot of public art in comparison to the rest of the box store parking lots that surround it. Now that they are out of business though, it's used as a space for seasonal stores such as the Spirit Halloween store and selling Christmas trees which means that there are rarely people here to admire, or notice, or know of this installation. Lonely art in an empty parking lot. So what should happen to abandoned public art? What should happen to abandoned parking lots? There certainly are more of them this side of the recession. It public art worthwhile if no one sees it?
Thought. This should be a dirt parking lot, it would only add to to ambiance of selling trees and the creepiness of Halloween, they could have pumpkin vendors or other themed products.Vines could grow up the art and become a part of the environment.
