The concrete-like exterior frame already looks a bit stained or streaked from weatherization. I think the only save for this structure will be in maybe 15-20 years when someone with an ability has said "enough", and then does something a bit creative with it. And that could be a variety of...
I agree 100%. "Good" art will make people stop, look, think, discuss, rave, not rave, but generally hang around for a bit. Add a food cart here too. Where did the smores guy go? Loved his cart. Nice guy. Give me some s'more smores.
And if you look at the hands on the women holding the glasses it's 100% obvious that this "artist" created the design with A.I. (Midjourney, most likely). Getting the hands right with A.I. image creation programs is often a challenge. But you can do it, or if you put more work into it. So, I'm a...
Perhaps take back some ownership of the Jetport. If it is truly the gateway to vacationland, Clear Channel should not be in a position to impede on this idea with an ad over the city's welcome symbol. Generating a small amount of easy revenue on this wall is not an excuse. It's only one wall...
I'm flying in next month so will look at and take pics of the walls. I think I'm qualified. I found and hired and managed the below project at the East 34th Street Heliport in Manhattan. The champagne bottle to the far left has UV paint accents and glows at night (black light effect). They can...
Then they need to buy it. The only reason NH thinks that they have some kind of dibs on this property is because of its name, "Portsmouth," and their inability to remove emotion from it. Make an offer.
Why is the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in the New Hampshire thread? It's in Kittery, Maine. When I visited New York Pizza in Hollywood, CA last year, I didn't think I was in the Big Apple.
Still need that big wow image of the skyline to complete that first impression. Amazing that Clear Channel can rule on whatever local P.R. and good feels (and art) you can put on your walls. I'm guessing that they don't own the Jetport. If so de facto, who did that deal?
When were the chess tables removed? It's still a wonderful cultural component in some of Manhattan's parks (Washington Square and Central). What do you say we get back to "thinking" again? These tables can also be used to eat your lunch with a friend (see attached suggestive photo for a new...
Even better. Not putting this in the Jetport for arriving passengers to see is another example of underperformance. Just make it happen. Be aggressive.
Portlander, can you get Paul to okay this? I can have a friend print this out in high quality 5'x10' (adhesive backing) so that everyone can see it before going down the escalator to baggage claim. Cost? Just buy the image. I think it's around $500, though maybe less if Maine Imaging likes the...
