Skimpy, poorly located and outrageously over-priced are some of the words which begin to describe my reactions as I drive past the water sculpture at the new City Hall on Huron Street. It certainly lacks presence and is about as effective as a Band-Aid on a gray elephant's hindquarters.

Moving it to a less prominent, less obtrusive area might save it from remarks such as mine because it is not necessarily inherently ugly - it is just the wrong location which makes it appear inadequate.
