To dream the impossible dream

Frank Gehry Fish sculpture/Barcelona, Spain

Tail O the Pup/Los Angeles, California

Randy's Donuts/Los Angeles, California


Maybe the architects of a giant hot dog and donut lack the pedigree of Frank Gehry. Maybe no architect was involved and capable contractors working from a doodle on a napkin made fine use of chicken wire and stucco. I like to think that a giant hot dog and donut came into being after one person exclaimed, "I want you to build it big, really BIG!" and the other person, without hesitation responded, "Okay! I'll do it!"
