A couch, upholstered with potato chips, stands outside Pack Square.
Thanks for reading through to the end…

Uh…Jounrey?
This is from the Edible Exhibit that Prof. Mark Koven & his class from UNC-A put on in Pack Place some two weeks ago.
oooooh how edgy and thought provoking . . .. *YAWN*
I see “jounrey” has been fixed.
…but “potato” is still spelled Dan Quayle style.
The only Journey that I know of is my 80s band which I was the lead singer :)

It appears to have been de-Quayled now.
Actually, the couch seems to be upholstered with potato chip bags, while the chips themselves are merely glued to the armrest.
I certainly hope they used an environmentally friendly glue.
Or, at least, a semi-edible one.
Not feeling the “artistic + edible” groove, on this one.
@ Annie — No, the bags that “upholstered” the couch were filled with chips also.
What a fun idea! Wish I had happened by.
Sit lightly, lest ye flatten the couch most permanently!
I am sure the APD will have the bench removed so the homeless can not make drug deals from it!

Glad to see their teaching such useful, relevant things up on the hill. I’m sure all those students will make excellent McDonald employees.
Yea, but they’ll just “lose” it and it’ll wind up back on the streets.
Incredible vision, hope this is going in your Magnum Portfolio. ;)
