"It is not out of line to think of an area as ethnically diverse as Strathcona and question that aspect of what public art would mean to the community. This neighbourhood was hit with 1970 urban renewal to make York Blvd a nice entrance to the city, at the cost of the diverse ethnic communities who actually lived, worked and played along York" true, very true. personally i attended sjam high for four years in the eighties. socializing, studying and partying with a very very ethnically diverse group of friends in the strathcona neighbourhood. these people i remember would be very open to a statue of frankie venom as they were proud of teenage head. they put us on the map as far as we were concerned. why is santos FIRST thought that the people in his neighbourhood of ethnic heritage wouldnt support frankie venom? cause only "white" people liked and respected teenage head?
