Time for some of that "stimulus money" to be put to work having those mosaics properly repaired. For the cost of sending lay-abouts their checks, people could be trained and dispatched to make those repairs and given a life-skill that someone might pay for later.
Flushing Meadow looked bad in 1972 and its gotten worse every year. The City long ago decided to spend zero to preserve any of the Fair relics. At this point, let the thing go back to swamp and wetland.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt
The above organizations are recognized by Queens Crap as being beneficial to the city as a whole, by fighting to preserve the history and character of our neighborhoods. They are not connected to this website and the opinions presented here do not necessarily represent the positions of these organizations.

At this point maybe the mosaic should be cut up and reassembled indoors.
Inside the Queens Museum maybe?
It would sure beat the mediocre art-stuffs they feature.

Maybe they would look better if all the World Fair buffs wouldn't steal everything that isn't tide down.
