It might just be a coincidence that now, rather than 2010, the tower receives some maintenance attention. It might be that someone actually looked at Belmont University’s historic tower and realized the poor visual impression that it makes. It might be that a blog post made something happen.
It doesn’t matter now. At least three sides of the tower have a chance to feel the rough edge of a scraper, the full tummy of putty, and the smooth strokes of a fresh coat of paint. We’ll just have to wait and see if the work continues after the important visitors leave in the Fall.
There might be a good story here. How about making a few phone calls so that you can include some facts rather than all this speculation? You guys can do better than this.
Grab a video camera and show us what is going on, ‘maybe ask the crane operator to let you attach a camera to the crane basket. Put some of that creative energy to good use.
