City Threatens to Remove Beloved BEAR SPIRIT Sculpture Which Has Stood 27 Years.

by Subcommondante Films
After a flurry of claims that residents don't like to see the nudity and following several vandal attacks to the penis, the city
says they plan on removing this long beloved sculpture that celebrates a native american bear dance ritual. But after interviewing a city
official, it looks more complicated than that.
