Art
Our town is one of those where a certain amount of art is mandated by public funding, or if not that, a certain amount of development funding must be spent on art. Typically, this results in an excess of large geometric metal shapes. There are certainly exceptions. But they are exceptions.
Downtown San Jose has been graced with a statue of Quetzalcoatl (sp) that looks as though a sixty-foot cat had made a sandbox stop in the park.
