PUBLIC FORUM : COPPER CURTAIN AN `EYESORE'.


Your recent article on proposed changes to the Copper Curtain was an excellent preview of more coming attractions Noun 1. coming attraction - a movie that is advertised to draw customers
motion picture, motion-picture show, movie, moving picture, moving-picture show, pic, film, picture show, flick, picture - a form of entertainment that enacts a story by sound and a sequence
 from Thousand Oaks Thousand Oaks, residential city (1990 pop. 104,352), Ventura co., S Calif., in a farm area; inc. 1964. Avocados, citrus, vegetables, strawberries, and nursery products are grown.  City Councilwoman Judy Lazar. From the beginning, Lazar played the starring role to spend $210,000 for this copper experiment they called ``art.'' On a 3-2 vote, supporters were Alex Fiore and Frank Schillo.

I don't think another dime should be spent on this eyesore eye·sore  
n.
Something, such as a distressed building, that is unpleasant or offensive to view.


eyesore
Noun

something very ugly

Noun 1.
 of a building which Lazar continues to call a masterpiece. If the city insists on wasting $10,000 more on this building, I have a fitting proposal: Paint a picture of Fiore, Schillo and Lazar on the curtain itself. Lazar should be in the center of the painting, as big as life, looming over the other two, with this caption at the bottom: ``Comes to you courtesy of Lazar, Fiore and Schillo.''
