Kuby Goes Cuckoo
Tonight at the University Park City Council meeting, there will be discussion of Karl Kuby’s request to install a large cuckoo clock above his restaurant. The clock would project 8 feet above the parapet wall and be 6 feet 7 inches wide. The city staff says code prevents the request from being approved, but — read the agenda item — they seem to feel a little bad about it:
While a sign featuring moving parts might be distractive and create unnecessary clutter, it could also enhance the eclectic ambience of the shopping center and make it more interesting for shoppers and pedestrians.
Will the council consider revising city ordinances to let Kuby’s go cuckoo? The meeting is at 5 p.m. tonight in the city’s doublewide at Goar Park. Stay tuned.

Are you referring to definition #1 or #2 in the Urban Dictionary?
I think he means #1, but to deal with the meeting itself, you need #2. Thank you for calling the building what it is. I am tired of people being unable to accept that name.
I think they should allow it to go forward. It would add some charm to the plaza that most shopping areas no longer have and could counter-balance the impact of removing Balls’ neon lights.
I am all for it, but that means that Dunkin’ Donuts will have a big spinning donut…it won’t matter because I won’t go there (Dunkin’).
