rising from the doo

i really like this piece, "the pheonix," better than the "phoenix rising" at the southwest  corner of woodruff park --- this is on broad street, by francesco somaini in 1964 --- it originally was installed at the southwest corner of five points, when there was still a first national bank, which commissioned the sculpture in the first place ---

they have just taken the scaffolding down after a major conservation project, a big portion of which was devoted to the removal of pigeon droppings
