Maury poses questions on Downtown's concrete pillars?

Comments re photo 56351 What should be done with concrete pillars

Maury Lewis writes:
What would the businesses that they are in front of like to see done with them?

What do the people that go down on the square use them for? They could use a good paint job on them. What would it cost to remove them?

I have seen children climb on them and jump off so I don't know how much of a safety hazard they are. - Maury Lewis
Thanks, Maury, for the questions: Like the way you prioritized. I hope that business owners are always consulted first. Like that you're wondering about creative reuse as a possibility, and that you wonder about the cost of removal. I'm a granddad, and I don't see a lot of safety concerns for ours jumping from the posts, but suppose there are some. Your statement reminds me of a Downtown character who once told some of us that he was buying a pair of two story cowboy boots - "So when I jump off the roof of the Firestone store I won't get hurt." And, for the record, I never saw any kid get hurt while walking the stone ledge on the Jeffries Building. - ED
