What the Bleep -- Words Fail Me.

Tacky, at best.

. . . the city put out these planters . . .

More than the decorations, it's the method of construction that is offending my sensibilities.

Looks like those walls are going to fall over.

Those bricks have little ledges on the back so they can't be constructed straight up unless one chisels off the ledges. Looks a bit shoddy construction to me too.

City = government = low bid,

Yes, I'm guessing that somebody donated the materials, and only donated the ones that make a curve.

I was thinking someone let their kindergarten kids decorate it.
