Wheel Questions

[crenshawseeds.livejournal.com]

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.

Is that why it disappeared? Good to know.

Also, I'd think it'd be better and more of a "community interaction" piece if it were possible for the general populace to both ask and answer questions, instead of having him be the only person who can answer questions (especially since he can be kind of a jerk to the people asking).

Well, ok, I should clarify that I am *assuming* that the creator of the wheel moved, based on the fact that someone at the house was leaving out a bunch of stuff for taking shortly before and the subsequent radical change in the yard. There could be another explanation, though.

the landlord actually caused the move; he was not happy with the liability issues that having a public park on property he was legally responsible for brought him. Hence the removal and the no trespassing signs, as people were still leaving notes even after it was removed.

Interesting. Thanks for the information!
