civic-virtue-statue-kew-gardens-queens

A little while back we wrote about the moving of Triumph of Civic Virtue from Kew Gardens to Brooklyn – this is a controversial statue on many levels, and recently some neighbors, like Kew Gardens resident Jon Torodash, believe that it was wrongly taken (decisions made in secret) away from Queens. And then there are some that find the statue offensive and misogynistic (it’s perceived as a dude crushing two female mythical creatures under his foot). We were by Borough Hall the other day, and must admit that it looks like something is missing. But what do you think – should it have stayed in Queens? Does it even matter? Let us know your thoughts on this – leave us a comment here or via twitter at @queensnycity.
