The Somerville Gates

Christo's The Gates in Central Park has been a huge hit. I haven't seen them yet but I've got a sense of what the installation is like from photos. These QuicktimeVR images are especially nice. The Gates are even visible from outer space.

Anything New York City can do, Somerville can do too. Presenting the Somerville Gates. Funny.

Update: According to the Boston Globe, the mayor of Somerville declared February 24, 2005 as "Hargo Day" in honor of Geoff Hargadon, the creator of the Somerville Gates. Now this is both funny and a little bizarre.
