I nominate the City of Ann Arbor for the Golden Toilet Bowl Brush for destroying public art by tearing down the mural on the side of the building next to City Hall to add a few parking spots.

I am sorry but your website is not conducive to easily nominating one of ann arbor's foremost public artists. I hereby nominate Mary Thiefels. She has been doing more for public art in this city over the years than anyone else I know! Get it? Do it! She deserves it more than anyone! MARY THIEFELS! If you don't know her or know of her; you should!
