Reply to comment by varadins in Whale hello there! by Trajikbpm

My guess is that they're inspired by the ones in Burlington, which have been in Burlington for years. I'd love to see them in other corners of Vermont. [Edit:] Fine. Okay. I just read an article. Seems the ones in Burlington were originally on this spot and the artist made new ones to replace the ones moved to Burlington.

I was shocked but not dismayed by the developmet behind the ones on 89 going to Burlington. Vermonts big enough that im not against dev in many areas. Just wanted to say I was shocked!

Yeah, that's really bummed me out as well. Those used to be beautiful fields behind the whale tails and you would commonly see people hiking to the tails on a Sunday afternoon. Now that's all gone. I don't know what's going on, but it looks like transfer stations for semi-trucks with enough lighting to wake the dead.

I was just imagining how to build some in front of my house with the PT 2x stock that I have.
