The Riverbank Carousel

It seems to me that the Riverbank Carousel should be a must-see for all WU-vies. It's designed from children's drawings, as you'll read if you follow the link above.

I think it's a cute idea, but I also think some kids might be freaked out by some of those animals. I know I am.

I can just see some yuppie parents needing to send their little ones for some serious couch time after inadvertently seeing this.

Shouldn't they touch up the paint a bit? The animals look a bit worse for wear. That would be like letting poor Dr. Zaius from the body painting story get smudged. He'd probably look like Andy Rooney after that.
