With the weather warming up, a visit to the Columbia lakefront is highly recommended. But while you're down there don't forget to check out the statues of James W. Rouse, the developer of Columbia, and his brother Willard. The two bronze statues were created by Baltimore Sculptor William Duffy in 1986, according to the Balitmore Sun.
Rouse origininally commissioned the statues for the grounds of the Rouse Company's Symphony Woods Office Center, but they were later purchased for $10,000 by the Columbia Association in 2000 and moved to the lakefront in 2002, according to the Sun.
But enough of the history, what do you think they're talking about?

Did you see the new CA Logo? They had butchered the original "People Logo", and made it look like a BANK logo. What an shame...

Willard, I said no more high density development. The apartments will add pollution, traffic problems, and over capacity schools. Okay, James, I understand your point -- lower the density and improve the quality of life.

I must be having a hearing problem. I keep listening, but I'm just not hearing my beautiful bells anymore.

Aren't you glad we aren't stuck at that new Arundel Mills Live casino? Thank goodness Columbia would never allow such a beast.
