But at least it would be preserved, like the mural from the City Light building. I am still in mourning over the amazing marquee from the Coliseum Theater (the current Banana Republic store) which, come to think of it, was not unlike the P-I Globe.

Personally, I think the globe should stay right where it is, with an endowment established for its upkeep and electric consumption.

While I am a purist, and would hate to see it altered in any way, I would be OK with changing the letters to read SEATTLE. That would be a fun thing for the cruise ships, I suppose....

Hey! That's the ticket - let's make the cruise lines pay for the globe!

Give us your tired, your worn, your sleepless artifacts from an earlier age, yearning to break free of the chains of bondage that man has put upon them!

Actually, the Globe has already been relocated once, when the PI moved from their original HQ at 6th & Wall to the Elliott Ave location in the mid 1980's. So, while certainly a logistical challenge, it should be technically feasible to move it yet again.

And turning it over to MOHAI makes sense, since they've become the repository for much of the iconic signage from Seattle's history: The Dog House, The Rainier "R", The WA Natural Gas "cosmic vagina", et al; this would just be the most massive item in their collection, and probably far to large to site at SLU Park, so the sculpture garden notion seems worth considering.

I hope SAM reads your idea, Jen, and runs with it. Having the globe as a fixature of the sculpture park would be ideal.
