Well, lets add that up- shall we?
Austin
$10,000 bike rack
Fort Worth
$30,000 for 2 train stations
Naples, Fla
$95,000 parking garage
Chicago
$500 for a design
(look ma, no fabrication!)
Memphis
$70,000 mural
Maryland
$150,000 you-call-its
Hmmmm..... that Maryland sucker is the big prize. Austin's wacked out offer of 10,000 dollars a bike rack is sick. Chicago's offer to do it for you means no commitment, perfect for the long-shot. Man, when you put 30 grand for two train stations up next to 95,000 for a parking garage- which would be so much more fun- there's no competition.
I'm gunning for Naples, maybe I can slip one in under the wire!
