The Ugly Newsrack Contest

Today’s Jane Jacobs moment comes courtesy of the Municipal Art Society, who are throwing an ugly newsrack contest. The winner gets a $100 gift certificate for the Art Society’s bookstore and to have their photograph used in an ad campaign. It all goes towards their ultimate goal: Banning newsracks from the streets of New York. We bet the Learning Annex loves that idea.
