Bye bye Cherry, but only temporarily

The Cherry in the Walker sculpture garden is being removed so it can get a new coat of paint. It's made of stainless steel and weighs 1,200 pounds, so I imagine a pretty big crane was used to remove it. It should be back some time in the spring with a fresh new coat of paint, but it'll be weird looking at the lonely spoon without it's cheery.
