Corn Porn in BoCoCa
You know those new corner sidewalk extensions that DOT’s been creating in recent months? Their utilitarian raison d’etre’s pretty clear but the vast expanses of concrete aren’t much to look at so a local artist has an idea to pretty them up. One word: corn. Yes, corn. According to the brand-spankin’-new Boerum Hill Blog, Christina…
You know those new corner sidewalk extensions that DOT’s been creating in recent months? Their utilitarian raison d’etre’s pretty clear but the vast expanses of concrete aren’t much to look at so a local artist has an idea to pretty them up. One word: corn. Yes, corn.

The first spot she wants to do it is at the northwest corner of Bergen and Smith Streets. Fun idea, but we’ll be a-maized if she can pull it off.

Rob… lay off with the Iowa comments. They’re just ridiculous. I’m not from the midwest, but I never got all the uproar about folks that weren’t born and raised in NYC. Why are folks from Iowa expected to “assimilate” but the immigrant populations from other countries are cherished?!
Why would you want Iowans to either give up their “culture” or not expect them to bring any of it with them… while whole ghettoized communities are filled with unassimilated Chinese, Koreans, Latinos, etc etc.
Oh, right… it’s because they are ghettoized. You can be different as long as your separated. But if you try to live near me, you had better not annoy me. God forbid you want to add something green to the concrete!
haha rob
Maybe we’ll get crop circles.
well if this city keeps on trying to look more and more like iowa everyday, the average CITIZEN will be taking up 8 feet of sidewalk, that’s fer sure.
*rob*
It’s 8 ft of the newly constructed football field size sidewalks… there’s still plenty of sidewalk left.
Are they really going to take up 8′-0″ of the sidewalk??

Corn looks husk-y.
