Andy's Angles: Gnomes

 

Today, it's another of the new Nay Aug Park gnomes, saved from the demolition of the Audubon School in Scranton.

This one is still creepy, but a little less so than the one in the header and featured here yesterday.

I pass by Colfax and Mulberry in Scranton all the time.  There is an empty lot where the school used to be, and it's controlled by the adjacent hospital.

When the school closed, the school district said it would cost too much to get rid of the mold and make other necessary repairs.

It's something that happens around here a lot-- we let things go until they become too expensive to fix, and then we tear them down.

It makes me sad, and angry.
