on and off high

Grant Wood's American Gothic is in Chicago. This is in Columbus, repainted by Bonie Bolen 2010; originally by Steve Galgas and Mike Altman 2002.

I think it was in 1984, an Ohio U. graduate, wrote to me about getting a tee shirt from a record shop in Columbus. He was living in Louisiana, and he wanted a Magnolia Thunderpussy shirt. All these years later, it is still there. High Street was a bit beat up then, a store front was boarded over, and someone wrote in big letters, "Nuke a gay whale for Christ".

This is very near the American Gothic is Brian Clemons' Mona 1990. It needs to be repainted too. It borders a narrow alley, and it seems there is always trash there.

The numerals 0 through 9 are by Dreese Laboratory OSU. Could be something about number theory. Some lay on the grass, and some are upright. Seasons past this included plants.

There is a big sportsball place surrounded by thick metal fencing, not too far away. It seems like "O" is similar to "0".

This Martin King quote is on the aforementioned parking garage.

King Rhino is smoking a cigar in a strip mall. He is not old, but he is rusty. Once he was very shiny.
