Hello Mr. Orwell.<br />Unfortunately, not all residents of Hudson are forward thinkers. There are vagabonds & ne'er do wells too.<br />I plan to visit the park soon & observe what gives. Maybe I'll see you there. <br />I'm for the return of Venus & the xfer of the existing fountain to the entrance of Promenade Hill Park, aka The Peoples Park.tmdonofriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370760970951114120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-62044732420101103472014-08-27T11:36:28.681-04:002014-08-27T11:36:28.681-04:00I was told the purpose for the fence and the high ...I was told the purpose for the fence and the high voltage warning signage was concerns around the uplighting in the present fountains bowl electrocuting some poor soul.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548912912359709568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-36805983804435795042014-08-26T11:20:12.274-04:002014-08-26T11:20:12.274-04:00tmdonofrio: The decades that Hudson spent in decl...tmdonofrio: The decades that Hudson spent in decline have forced the city fathers to always take the cheapest short term route. I'm sure the fence was cheaper than insurance at the time. Maybe now that Hudson is planing to spend an outrageous amount of money on park improvements, we could buy enough insurance to keep Venus out of jail. The self-defeating policies regarding liability versus everything else have put us all in jail or at least on the other side of the bars/ fence/signs. To resurrect Venus with fountain and walks with no bars/fence/signs would bring praise to any community and would be the most significant sign of hope for positive change in Hudson I have seen to date.Ed Gumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481629693220412221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-13756467077205253322014-08-26T05:32:03.867-04:002014-08-26T05:32:03.867-04:00Well I guess I'll be the one to pop the bubble...Well I guess I'll be the one to pop the bubble so to speak. The question that remains unanswered is just what will the City of Hudson do to ANY 7th St. park fountain after it is installed. Will there be any style of fencing or restricted access to the fountain similar to what exists at the fountain now? I believe that the answer is yes, based on Hudson's Gov't concerns of personal injury lawsuits. So, will the Venus Project find her in prison & behind bars? Maybe that question requires add'l research & a response from the powers that be. tmdonofriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370760970951114120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-4340668372496516042014-08-25T23:38:54.064-04:002014-08-25T23:38:54.064-04:00Thats quite the pedestal ! ! !Thats quite the pedestal ! ! !Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548912912359709568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-82212673673523504502014-08-25T22:16:51.141-04:002014-08-25T22:16:51.141-04:00Lovely!Lovely!Virginia Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201120778619779181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-1976089195306712842014-08-25T22:05:30.429-04:002014-08-25T22:05:30.429-04:00Let's get it done!!Let's get it done!!Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476845411516796463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-40155017328319289552014-08-25T21:23:18.699-04:002014-08-25T21:23:18.699-04:00That pedestal is fantastic!
