Officials Want Giant Push Pin

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - July 21, 2006 -- You know how some people mark a spot on a map with a push pin? That's the idea behind a proposed sculpture in Davenport, Iowa.

Officials want to mark the spot where two bike trails coverage with a 25-foot-tall push pin. But not everyone wants a giant push pin along the Mississippi River.

Kelli Grubbs, a member of the city's Levee Improvement Commission, calls it hideous.

Mayor Ed Windborn wants the commission to give it serious consideration. He calls it a fun design.
