Wheel Questions

I'm Ashley Taylor, a reporter for the Somerville News writing a story about John Monsarrat's Wheel Questions installation currently at Davis Square in front of the 7-11.  

What do you think of it?  

Have you posted questions, and did you appreciate the answers?  Or do you just read it?  

Or have you never heard of it or seen it?

Particularly, as members of an on-line community, what do you think of the idea of having a community based around a physical structure, "the Wheel"?  

Please let me know  explicitly, when you reply, whether or not I can quote you in my article. 

Thank you.

Some people, myself included actually liked it. Subjective aesthetic assessments (whether asserted as fact or not) aside, I liked that it seemed a sincere effort to make something useful and available to others with the property, and that it added some eccentric character to the neighborhood. It was unique, and at least to me not ugly, and so I was sad to see it go.
