Why the Scissors?

                      

I believe it's time for me to explain the name of my blog.
Once upon a time there was a sculpture shaped like scissors that sat in the middle of Courthouse Square in the middle of downtown Santa Rosa. These scissors became a landmark and a meeting area for all. People would say, " Hey we should go Downtown, meet me at the scissors" and it lessened confusion among peers and family.
I think it was this last summer that the scissors were taken away because of someone climbing on them without being careful leading to an accident. Yes, I know that precautions for the safety of everyone must be made, but it was a sad day when the sculpture disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I have lived here ( Santa Rosa) my entire life and it's sad to see landmarks slowly  go away ( like the fountain in the middle of the Plaza Mall). And, these scissors became even more important when I got older and started hanging out with friends more often, and without adult chaperones, because it gave us a meeting point  and we used it for years.
That is why the blog is " Meet Me at the Scissors".
