@there... from Butler’s renovation page for this week:
“Cleaning & re-pointing the North façade below the columns has been completed except for the green stains flanking the front entrance. These stains will be removed in preparation for the re-installation of the refurbished lanterns. The front entrance will CLOSE during this work.”
They were being cleaned, not removed because they fell off, although admittedly having them fall on one of the hipster-vampire smokers would be infinitely funnier.
@XJE If you’re referring to the terrifying lamps, they’re having new ones made (according to the weekly renovation updates posted in the library). As you may remember, one of them fell off and broke last year.

@uhh... I’m pretty sure it didn’t fall, given that there were guys on scaffolds taking them down last year…
@i think i remember a piece of one falling off last year
@The DInk one less smoker, a little less demand for tobacco, which sucks the life out of the soil.
@i think smokers destroy themselves. But corporations are pretty corporationy…
@smokers suck would it have been such a tragedy? it would have saved the tobacco companies the trouble of destroying their bodies…
