Flowerclock Approved by Council

Fairhope, Alabama

The city council unanimously voted to proceed with plans for constructing a floral clock -- to be installed on the grassy knoll at the intersection of Section St. and HWY 104.

A joint project with the Committee on Public Art, the design has yet to be determined; but one possible suggestion is like the Fairhope clock at the intersection of Section St. and Fairhope Ave.

The COPA has agreed to provide the mechanical components for the clock (motor and hands) and the city will build and maintain it thereafter.

City Horticulturist Jennifer Fidler will be working with the group.

I hope a sink hole all the way to China opens up and returns the clock there because I am sure that is where it will be made

Maybe we should report them to Local 15's hot line for government waste and spending of our tax dollars. They should look at other areas that need addressing before we put more flowers in.

Is this the same grassy knoll that President Kennedy's killer was standing?
