Get Your Mortgage Phil: A New Statue In Downtown Burlingame

A New Statue In Downtown Burlingame

Have you seen this new statue in downtown Burlingame? I was walking down to the convenience store to get a Diet Coke (I'm addicted), and I saw this statue in front of the former Coldwell Banker office. This office is currently vacant, so it was strange to see this statue implanted right in front of this building.

downtown BurlingameAs I was taking a picture of this statue, one of the downtown Burlingame businessmen yelled at me from the building behind "Hey, what are you taking a picture of that for?"

I said, "I think it looks pretty strange in front of this building, what do you think?" 

He said, "Well I do to, and so do a lot of the other business owners. If you don't mind, send your picture to City Hall with some thoughts on what you think of it."

Downtown Burlingame stirs the passions of the city's citizens. It has taken roughly ten years from beginning to an affirmative vote to get a new Safeway built. It took so long for several reasons, but mainly because of the differences of a couple of groups who feel very passionate about the appearance of downtown Burlingame.

I have a feeling that the future of this statue is going to debated in a public forum. It's never boring in downtown Burlingame!

Interesting...I used to live in the Bay Area but I never even knew Burlingame even had a downtown. I'll have to visit next time I'm out that way.

It looks a bit out of place, doesn't it? Just my humble opinion.... LOL

John, 

Burlingame has a great downtown, that's why it's so strange to see this statue!

Hi Phil, Well you certainly got someones attention. The photo is small but as best I can tell, it looks like something just got left there. Perhaps the new space will be some sort of Gallery and they couldn't get in the door, LOL.

Phil, it doesn't seem right, but then I don't claim to be an expert on art!

Debi - It's way out of place

William - I'm going to get a better photo of it tomorrow and I will post it here. You may be right, it is too big to get in the door.

Tony - I'm not an art expert either. It's actually not bad looking. It's just in the wrong place.
