It was a terrible likeness and an ill-advised tribute. I’m just glad they painted over the Diana mural. It was a terrible likeness and an ill-advised tribute.

Typically such lights are used to draw attention to special events. It is a shame the "special event" advertised in Richmond involves a gorilla (or Santa depending upon the season) and a skantily clad female. Richmond . . . where's your class??

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 00:40:42 +0000 http://riverdistrictnews.com/2007/12/14/have-you-seen-the-light/#comment-39 Honestly I think the spotlights add a little pizazz to Richmond's nightime skyline... what I can't stand is the bedraggled Santa with a cardboard cutout woman welcoming folks to Shockoe Bottom at 11 in the morning. Heard he's been out there even earlier. You don't get much more low class than that. If they tried to go more upscale and less "in your face" (Hello, are two Hummers really necessary?) I think they could actually be an asset.
