Why does the pedestal in Lee Circle have to remain vacant?

It's such an eyesore and really a shitty look.

Why cant they throw up a statue of Louis Armstrong or Tom Benson (even if temporary) just to prevent us from looking like a former Communist wartorn state?

Surely they could get Armstrong approved in like a week if they got off their asses.

Maybe the powers that be decided that we all just need to use our imagination instead of putting up something “real”

BTW, there's a staircase inside that column.

History Lesson - It was originally Tivoli Circle and had a carousel https://www.old-new-orleans.com/NO_Tivoli_Circle.html

It's less of an eyesore than the collapsed building that's been sitting there for 3 months.

My idea would be to rename Armstrong Park "Benson Park" and have Gayle donate a couple million for upkeep etc.

Then rename Lee Circle "Armstrong Circle" and put the American Jazz Hall of Fame and History Museum there in the circle along with a statue of Satchmo holding his instrument

How about a Louisiana treasure instead like James Carville Circle?
