From 'The Writer's Desk'

In continuing my posting of photos from my recent downtown Charlotte exploits, this is a very cool public art exhibit in front of ImaginOn facing Seventh Street. Titled The Writer's Desk, these sculptures were commissioned in 2005 in honor of the late Rolfe Neill, a former publisher and writer at The Charlotte Observer who passed away in 1998. Some of the pieces contain quotations from his Sunday columns that ran for 20 years in the newspaper. This great public art installation is another example of the beauty of downtown that you won't experience unless you stop to smell the roses.
