Hole-In-The-Wall @ AZ Museum of Natural History > Unintended Consequences

Oh, the sights you can see here walking around Downtown Mesa! Busting through the south wall façade of a downtown destination, a gigantic three-dimensional real-life sized plastic replica of a prehistoric dinosaur made its public debut some months ago. That occasion was marked in a featured post on this blog at that point-in-time, noting the re-appearance of dinosaurs at the SWC of Macdonald Street & Pepper Place.
There were no VIPS a few days ago when a two-man crew from the Bird Division of the local extermination company Truly Nolen were seen rising on hydraulic lifts to take a look at a roost the city created - dealing with a public nuisance: PIGEON POOP.

Dinosaur façade unveiling at Arizona Museum of Natural History

"A life size sculpture of a magnificent carnivorous dinosaur appears to break out of the wall, leaving shattered masonry crumbling under her immense power as she makes her escape. That is what was unveiled today outside of the Arizona Museum of Natural History (AzMNH), 53 N. Macdonald during a Free the Dinosaur event.
A replica of the Acrocanthosaurus is an iconic image to greet museum visitors. . .
"Students from across the state come to the Arizona Museum of Natural History in downtown Mesa to explore the past," Mayor John Giles said. "The new dinosaur bursting from the building is a great photo op for our visitors to commemorate their time here. I'm sure she'll be a regular on social media feeds."
"It truly takes a village, or perhaps a city, to create a scientifically accurate life-size Acrocanthosaurus. There are so many people to thank, from our museum staff and volunteers to other City of Mesa employees, especially the Engineering Department, to Dimensional Innovations to our wonderful donors who have made this unique sculpture a reality," Arizona Museum of Natural History Director Tom Wilson said.
AzMNH has raised the $380,000 needed to complete the Free the Dinosaur project. But more donations are needed to maintain the dinosaur façade. . . ".
