There are several of these installations spread around the Amherst College campus, which is essentially part of downtown Amherst. I took this earlier this spring while on a jaunt down to Mount Holyoke to visit Supergirl One. If you click to enlarge, you can read the messages. Other than having photographed this, I don't know much else about this series of installations. I like the message that's written on the painting of the man, so I snapped the picture.
On a somewhat related note: one of my favorite valley bands, turned famous, J Mascis and Dinosaur Jr. doing Neil Young's I've Been Waiting For You; a song off Neil's first solo album.
Loud Warning
It's only Wednesday and I'm already craving loud music. Uh-oh.
Thank you for taking the time to say you've been here.
I am sorry to say that I don't publish anonymous comments unless I know you through your initials, first name or blog name. I don't publish comments that have ANY kind of commercial or 'for sale' links.

Interesting and good positive messages. I didn't pay attention to your "loud" warning. LOL ;-D
