Thanks to Ann M for this one. After we viewed the Skyline Art Show on Floor 1: “Today we enjoyed viewing Donna Dunning’s poster about this popular sculpture. Look carefully—at the base is a small dog:
Waiting for the Interurban was created by the late artist Richard Beyer, who was on the Fremont Arts Council committee when a sculptor was chosen for the work. Since no one applied, he chose himself. Committee member (and honorary mayor) Armen Stepanian disagreed, and the two squabbled. Beyer ultimately got his revenge by making the dog’s face resemble Stepanian.”
