I rather like the statues? Not sure of the flowers. I'd have to see it myself .

Saw the ballerinas being delivered today, and got stuck behind the slow delivery lorry, which is why perhaps I am not enamored with them!  Anyway I am sure this will lead to a tourist vs living here split, but is it ballerinas and other mod art, or should some of this money be spent on decent roads.  My vote is for the latter.

Call me a philistine (I'm not) call me a miserable old sod (I could be) but the roads around the seafront at Calis are a disgrace, and are being made worse daily by the 18 wheeler delivery lorries and concrete mixers to the 5* hotel building site.  We'll have another year of the council doing nothing in Calis again, particularly the roads and paths, and the place looks like it is going downhill... but who cares no one is coming this year but the Calis die-hards!!

I wonder who thought this one up. What could we add to the Kordon to bring in the tourists? Hmm 15 foot high plastic ballerinas. Yep! That'll  do it......

Its a Memorial Garden for the murdered Mersin student Ozgecan Aslan, and to all the victims of domestic abuse in Turkey which is why its being opened by Mayor Saatchi tomorrow, International Women's Day.

Ah it is another vanity project for Mayor Saatchi, or perhaps the near completion of his big vanity project the Korden.  Will he ever look at the work that needs doing in other areas, like Calis, before any more of his vanity projects?  I don't think so, he is -as I have said before - out to leave a legacy .... but I would prefer to call it Project All Fur Coat and No Knickers.

No idea that it's  supposed to be a memorial park. Genuine question though, what's the ballet/Fethiye connection? According  to the article the poor victim was going to be a psychology student and not a local....
