Alexandra Gill on manhole covers

Howdy!

Seems like I missed a slow news day, Ms. Gill picks up on the manhole cover competition in Vancouver, too! Ms. Gill does it straight and she does get the names of the other jury members and where this sort of thing has been done before.

While I think I like Mr. Patriquin's article better, Ms. Gill gets the better quote from Ms. Augaitis; "It's a mark of sophistication for a city to think of including artists when they're designing a manhole cover." Oooh! Vancouver is sophisticated!!

For what it is worth, these are the winning designs.
