PARKING GARAGE PROJECT ALMOST COMPLETED

A steel mounting bracket has been attached atop the city's parking garage in anticipation of the installation of artist Bruce Larsen's first new Seahorse sculpture later this week (hopefully); more seahorses and other metal creations are to be installed below at the alley entrance too, according to project plans.

The overall Art Alley/Parking Garage/Transit Hub project begun almost a year ago is now expected to be mostly-completed in time for the annual Arts n' Crafts festival in mid-March, according to city engineer Richard Johnson: besides installing the art, only finishing paver installation and some landscaping remain.

Mayor Sullivan says the official dedication ceremony probably won't be until after the festival though.

Never seen a seahorse in Mobile Bay . A Mullet would been a better choice

they are down closer to the mouth of the bay since they have to have salty water.

A sea horse may showcase Mr. Larsen’s talent but it is not representative of this area. Maybe a Crab or a Flounder or a Shrimp.
