Thank you.

Well, it hasn't gone anywhere yet. What's the holdup here?

Approaching the anniversary of its third month here.

Well, it's approaching a year now...

In fairness, it's only been seventh months, but should it take that long to remove a piece of trash from the sidewalk?

Here's a photographic update - somebody has swivelled it over the past seven months, as if that constitutes progress...

Only 211 days? It feels as if it were just yesterday! Or tomorrow!

Well, we can only presume that PWA is preparing the first anniversary celebration here...

So, in 271 days, all anybody's managed is to knock it over on the sidewalk.

Here are a couple of emails for the chronicle to get rid of the newsrack. Although they are not the quickest to mitigate problems, they have been helpful in getting some repeatedly vandalized racks out of my neighborhood.

I phoned the Comicle about this roughly a month ago, and they've done absolutely nothing (unless it was they who knocked the machine over).

Somebody stood the Comicle's art installation up, but that's the only apparent change.

Neglected to include the photo, sorry, but here it is.

From a slightly different perspective...

The Comicle tells me it's a priority for them but, nevertheless...

Just take that hunk of crap and recycle it and use the money for a chronicle subscription

Here's a closeup

As the first anniversary approaches, we might as well add a slightly different perspective.

Since it's been nearly a year I won't say thanks but, today, the Comicle finally got its act together and this piece of junk is gone. I have seen it with my own Lasik-enhanced vision.
