Three years after the city started planning it, and after some neighborhood controversy, the finished sculpture, “Out of the Blue,” was introduced to the public Monday evening.
As a teen growing up in Midvale, in the heart of Salt Lake County’s suburbs, Stephen Kesler remembers the first time he saw Salt Lake City’s Ninth & Ninth neighborhood.
For people who question a whale, Mendenhall said, “there’s also folklore about whales living in the Great Salt Lake, and I think in a way it’s a gentle reminder that we are living in what was once a bottom, or at least the shoreline, of a giant inland sea.” Ninth & Ninth, Olmedo-González said, “is a quirky place. It’s a place that welcomes different people’s identities, embraces people’s differences.”
Maynard said the city took great pains to contact people in the neighborhood when the roundabout was built, and when 900 South went through renovations — but the same process was lacking when deciding what to put in the roundabout. One couple, Tim and Tiffin Roberts, did bring signs. His read “turn it 90 degrees,” and hers read “what he said.”
Rob Eckman, who works at King’s English Bookshop, was involved with the original gnome sculpture — and at Monday’s opening, he noted that the gnomes often got stolen. It’s more difficult to steal a massive whale.
