The 10 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft (3 x 2 x 1.5 meter) sculpture took over 5,500 man hours over a 14-month period to build. The stained glass blue crab weighs roughly 500 pounds.
The sculpture was commissioned by Anne Arudnel County. As one of Maryland’s state symbols, the blue crab was an obvious choice. According to the Baltimore Sun
“With 550 miles of heavily crabbed waterfront, and a capital city known as Crabtowne, a newspaper nicknamed the Crab-wrapper… the crab is our most ubiquitous seafood… No creature is more deeply embedded in the bay region’s economy, culture and ecology.” (Click READ MORE below to see more pictures)
How much did this cost the taxpayers?
ReplyDeleteThe dems justify things like this as it being a "job creator." These are the kind of things they see as "economy stimulators" and they add the 2 or 3 jobs it took to make this as jobs they've added to the state.
ReplyDeleteI do find it quite beautiful and wouldn't mind the money spent, but don't use things like this to BS the public.
8:29-Like a diversion you mean? BS is probably the best way to describe it.
