Praise

• "Unique, interesting concept. It really could work and prove to be convenient to a wandering tourist. It also looks good aesthetically."
• "I feel this would add a wondrous and very appropriate element to this geographic location. The true center of the Universe...with all due respect to Galileo and Copernicus."
• "What better way to honor a navigator than with a compass?"
• "This is a good idea, and one that will help promote and identify Columbus Circle and the surrounding area."
• "I love the idea and think it more or less 'completes' the circle visually."
• "This seems like a no-brainer."
