It was weird while is lasted. With zero fanfare, the quirky Lyft Art Park downtown closed and disappeared shortly after the calendar flipped to 2020.<\/p>\n

And, yes, we understand most calendars don’t “flip” anymore. Your smartassery is duly noted.<\/p>\n

Here’s the former home to some seriously offbeat art. The space has returned to its former glory as a parking lot next to Park on Fremont restaurant.<\/p>\n

\"Lyft
It wasn’t paradise. And this parking lot was already paved. Can you believe that song came out 50 years ago?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Lyft Art Park opened on Sep. 26, 2018, and featured a rotating collection of larger-than-life art pieces, many imported from Burning Man.<\/p>\n

Featured art included a 30-foot ballerina, a massive polar bear and an out-sized robot.<\/p>\n

\"Lyft
This statue, called “Euterpe” (named after a Greek muse), was on point.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Other pieces featured at Lyft Art Park included a bug thing, a cab thing, a trailer thing and several other things we can’t even describe as well as those.<\/p>\n

Some of the art pieces have made their way to nearby locations.<\/p>\n

The giant Flamingo now sits next to the Downtown Container Park.<\/p>\n

\"Lyft
Lyft Art Park’s giant flamingo has flown a few blocks east. Yes, flamingos fly. Trust us, we are a photo caption.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The recycled lion is on temporary display in the porte cochere at the Plaza casino.<\/p>\n

\"Plaza
Bonus points for reading our mind on that sign, Plaza.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s weird how you can take something for granted, then when it’s gone, miss it a lot. Like a short refractory period.<\/p>\n

We took Riviera for granted, too, and we miss it now that it’s a parking lot<\/a>. The former New Frontier site is going to be a parking lot as well.<\/p>\n

The point is, enjoy things while you can, because nothing lasts forever. Thanks a lot, diminished testosterone levels. Or whatever we were originally talking about.<\/p>\n
