Title: What Is Being Built?

I saw a work crew building something downtown today.  The construction project is on the lawn of the Youngstown Newspaper near the corner of West Front Street.  What is it?

Got the answer for you Jay. Its part of a 100,000 art project in 5 locations downtown.

Work started today on one of them – a curved wall made out of 3-D-printed decorative ceramic blocks, each inlaid with a solar-powered light. It's located in the grassy area in front of The Vindicator building at West Front Street and Vindicator Square.

I was afraid the project was a feeding station for all the geese that often feed on the grass on that corner lot.
