[quote="modern elite-ist"]That "Lovely" sculpture was at Scripps Green hospital.

I'm not sure where it was moved, but I read that it being removed from the hospital drew applause from the crowd who cheered its removal.[/quote




Aha! I have heard of this sculpture before from my boss who used to work for Scripps. It looks more like a giant turd than I had even imagined!

naahhh it craps out now and then. I guess San Diego scooter tag is kind of like a vintage scooter... it needs to be constantly used or it can start to falter.

A Great Tag is one that is a challenge.

That Turd is not un-findable.

Alright steelcap - this is one ELUSIVE giant turd. The Scripps website has not been updated since the turd was moved...so I had to do quite a bit of turd-hunting to get it!

I asked these ladies who were out for their afternoon walk if they knew where the giant turd was, and one lady tells me that it was moved.... and that she always thought it looked like a diesesed penis. She had this look in her eye like she had always wanted to say that to SOMEONE....

I asked a parking lot guy if he knew where a sculpture that looks like a giant turd was, and he in turn asks me "What color is it?". Um, dude, it's turd colored.

Thanks for the wonderful excuse to get out of the office and remind me that phototag is SUPPOSED to be an adventure!

If you enter the exact words on the plaque photo I posted into Google and tell it you feel lucky you'd have got the location right away. Razz emoticon

But I guess it's more fun asking people if they know where the giant turd is. Laughing emoticon

I have a long weekend coming up, so I'm looking forward to the next tag.

It's a beautiful ride along PCH for you "metro" folk to get to this tag. If it helps you can imagine you're riding along the south coast of England on your way to Brighton. Razz emoticon Just the kind of fun riding scooter were meant to do.
