WHERE'S THE BIRD, YOU ASK ?




THE BIRD
IS THE WORD
in NOHO
By Louis Elovitz
Digital Journalist






The vandalized
Noho lankmark
has been restored
at Lankershim and Burbank.

Last year I did a story on the missing eagle
and chair that graced the sphere at the
Tujunga-Burbank-Lankershim crossroad
right across from the car wash, itself a
monument being used since the 50's
( way below see the restored sculpture )















Then we have the SPHERE
seen here
Welcoming All to Noho,
but click to enlarge and you see on
top
the green of old brass
-AND I DO NOW REALLY REMEMBER
a 'chair standing on one leg'
ON TOP OF THE SPHERE
,



I may be crazzzzi,

but I think it looked
like this a chair with an EAGLE
on top of
the sphere


What happened to the
CHAIR ? & EAGLE?
Graffiti laden murals
get repaint jobs,
if this was VANDALISM,
is it going to be repaired.


TAH DAHHH !

Last year I posed my
question of where the
eagle and chair where,
and was given this
information from ALICE
of Tom La Bonge's
Office & Regina of the
Community Redevelopment
Agency and they
TOLD ME

that the monument
WAS VANDALIZED

and it is in the process
of being RESTORED...


AND HERE IT IS.
