I know it's been a coupla months now, but I am disappointed with the new totem pole.

When viewed up close, it appears to be just a half shell attached to a steel pole. When viewed from the street, it has no detail.

The excuse that the old totem pole was pest infested was a poor excuse for its replacement. It could have been removed, fumigated and returned to its rightful place.

Bring back the old totem pole.
