On the Energy Loop:

The running debate over a final resting spot for the Energy Loop sculpture, Asheville’s first public art piece, may be finally coming to an end. The city’s Public Art Board on Tuesday wholeheartedly endorsed placing the wavy chunk of steel in the center of a small plaza between a new parking deck and the new Carolina First building along College Street in downtown.

On Tupelo Honey:

A clogged sewer line backed up into the basement of Tupelo Honey Cafe, a popular Asheville restaurant and tourist destination, causing thousands of dollars of damage and forcing the restaurant to remain closed for more than a week.

"…Energy Loop sculpture, Asheville’s first public art piece"

We need to keep this piece out and in the public eye. Not only is it a great piece, but in my eye it’s also symbolic for Asheville’s support of the arts. It’s also a wonderful reminder of the great artistic community we have here. That’s one of the wonderful things about Asheville – we actually display art in public!

Melting of the energy loop into something useful would be better the blimmish on the Asheville landscape they have planned for it.
