Let Zappa's visage welcome visitors

May 11, 2008

I hope Mayor Sheila Dixon wholeheartedly accepts the offer of the Lithuanian sculptor to give the city of Baltimore a copy of his statue of Frank Zappa ("From Lithuania, with love of Zappa," May 8).

I think it should replace that giant ugly sculpture that was inflicted upon us in front of Penn Station. I think it would be most fitting for out-of-town visitors and natives leaving home to gaze upon Mr. Zappa before or after they board a train in our city.
