Those are supposedly monkeys. Giant inflatable albino monkeys. In blackface, for some strange reason.
I'm told they're supposed to be art, and that they're affiliated with the 21C museum/hotel across the street.
I don't know whether giant inflatable albino monkeys in blackface are art or not. What I do know is that (a) They seem kinda rascist to me, and (b) That's a busy interstate highway behind them, and (c) If I were driving down the highway and saw giant inflatable albino monkeys in blackface, I might just cause a 50-car pileup.
Maybe that's where the art would really be.
You don't know me from Eve but I went to school with your dad. We were in the same class at Georgetown. Since there was only one senior class, that was not a hard thing to do!
I have been going down memory lane lately and found my Class of '59 Graduation program and started doing some research. I am so, so very sorry to find that you lost both your mom and dad at such early ages! Yes, I knew perky, funny Miss Harmon as well! (I also had a crush on your dad, just between you and me).
Good blog, by the way. I blog as well!
