The idea of a show piece to represent San Pedro is a great idea but doing it as a 21 foot tower made of concrete with zero architectural or design significance and not even bothering to put the words San Pedro, Belize on it is simply short sighted. If they had asked for ideas and possibly even spoken to local artists about some ideas this could be something very nice which might have reflected the personality and image of this island and this town.

The structure they are building is designed (and I use the term loosely) around a screen with a clock stuffed on it.

It should be stopped now, then we should get input on the design from the community, then we can complete the project. If headrick's letter is true he is not concerned if it has screens on it or not so he will still pay for it. NO ADVERTISING SIMPLY ART AND A CLOCK! How about a giant lobster, or a fisherman, whatever.
