His reputation for bravery and sacrifice for our country should not be sullied by easy accusations. We need John Pershing's Doughboy statue to reign over the classic plan of 1910, for Pershing Square with the honor it deserves.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758383715101357896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214965390487966765.post-15801874111252365902022-02-16T08:55:26.622-08:002022-02-16T08:55:26.622-08:00Nathan...well done once again!

Either back in Pershing Square or at its present home in San Pedro is acceptable to NSGW but we should be consulted regarding these decisions and notified before any changes are made. Personally, I believe that given the current wave of iconoclasm, the cannon is safest right where it is.<br />James P.

There is a lot of interest in the "problem" of Pershing Square, and while we think the 1910 design is the best solution, we enjoy hearing other ideas from folks who care about the park. Thanks for your feedback, and please stay involved.

Here is a link to the new design proposed: http://la.curbed.com/archives/2013/08/there_will_be_some_modest_makeover_efforts_at_pershing_square.php - Looks well thought out at least.<br /><br />I think if it were truly restored, that there would be a focus on having great trees and even some native plants would be nice. That's what LA really should look like! Palm trees and a fountain do not send the right message.kjmacadoodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304666948749205489noreply@blogger.com
