Where is the new Meadow's Center? Sorry, I haven't kept up with that like I would have liked. Are they like the roundabouts the City of Idaho Falls started using about 3-4 years ago? One was placed in Taylor's Crossing, with the commissioned eagle, mountain lion and other pieces, made of bronze in the middle of the roundabout. They are actually the largest bronze pieces in the U.S. Kind of interesting idea and actually quite beautiful to look at art in a roundabout, except there seems to be too much to look at if one is just driving and not pulling into a parking lot for an appointment.
There are great pictures of Taylor's Crossing and these pieces at
www.IdahoFallz.Com. Specifically, this is the address for the bronze pieces:
http://idahofallz.com/2006/08/27/tay...bronze-eagles/ If that doesn't work, there is a search at the top of the page (above the chat box) and if one just types in Bronze and makes sure search Idaho Fallz.Com is checked, instead of Google, that should bring up this series of great photos.
Unfortunately, I don't think any photos are posted in any threads here, and can't be currently, due to some "confusion." Let's just leave it at that, but please check out
www.IdahoFallz.Com when you can and look at all the great photos, not only of T.C. but other sites. There may even be some pics of the roundabout in winter with the different colored lights on the cascading water in this roundabout. I don't know if McNeil will do that again now that the Bronze work is there.
So I'm just wondering what is different or similar in the New Meadows roundabout compared to the Taylor's Crossing one and other just plain traffic (no art) roundabouts in Idaho Falls and elsewhere? Personally, I like them.
