Can you call broken skateboards nailed to trees and sneakers hanging from their limbs works of art? This very same question has been and is still a big issue in Fayetteville.
Apparently, the said city’s Board of Adjustment says it’s hardly a work of art. Instead, they think that it’s even an illegal sign!
Voting 4-1 Monday, the Board announced their belief that the skateboards and sneakers are illegal signs. Much to the dismay of skateboarders and skating aficionados, of course.
The nailed skateboards and the sneakers can all be found outside the Blount Street Skate shop, owned by Ross Roggio. Roggio even plans to appeal the Board’s decision at the Superior Court.
All I can say is — good luck and I really hope that the decision be overturned!
I personally believe that this is a work of art - yes, a memorial of sorts, a shrine where skateboarders and skaters can just go and be able to exchange their thoughts about their skateboarding passion. How can those be illegal signs? How can those even disrupt our daily lives? How can those pose danger or threats against anything and anybody?
I have a strong feeling that this is just a result of some weird political ploy. Certain people are just jealous. That’s all there is to it.
