Busted Plug, 1404 Taylor Street: 23 February 2023 7 comments
Ironically, the work crew around Busted Plug when I took the first set of pictures on 22 February actually added a bit of verisimilitude to the setting, as it's exactly what you would expect to see working at that faux barricade, but not normally something that was there. From what I could tell, at this point they were sort of figuring out what exactly they were going to do to unearth the Blue Sky installation, which had been in this spot (with beloved sister installation Tunnel Vision) for over twenty years, having been set up in 2001 as an "anniversary gift for the Federal Land Bank".
By the time of the second set of pictures, they had figured it out, and the hydrant was long gone.
I encourage you to follow this link to The State which has a really incredible video of the plug on the move.
The city plans to reinstall Busted Plug *somewhere*, but apparently no actual plan yet exists.
