   I was in Toronto for this years Nuit Blanche, and they had a game of Pong happening on the side of City Hall with participants playing from Nathan Phillips Square. It was an amazing site, and to have something permanent like this Ukranian example would be an amazing testament to the value of public space.

     Something like this could be a much better use for the Walker Power Building Darren wrote about back in December. I certainly wouldn’t mind some public art that wasn’t just in the sculpture ghetto park, yet was equally permanent.

   Undoubtedly! If anyone could pull that off, I’m sure the BCL folks could!
