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.
