No, MC Hammer is not performing in Seattle this week! This weekend on my stroll through the Emerald City, it dawned on me that I have written posts about Seattle Art Museum many times, and have yet to feature it's most prominent visitor, Hammering Man.
Gracing the First Avenue entrance, Hammering Man is a city owned institution. Photographed thousands of times weekly, by people from around the world, this 48 foot worker bee strikes his hammer four times per minute from seven a.m. til ten each night, seeing fit to exclude work from his schedule, only one day a year, Labor Day.
Hammering Man is not alone, he has siblings throughout the world, in varying sizes from New York and L.A. to Germany and Japan, making proud creator, Jonathan Borofsky a happy man indeed, knowing his industrious workers are not toiling in vain...
Just another reason to love Living in Seattle!
