On Friday, Dec. 20, the community members behind the ‘Save the Carlsbad Smokestack’ put on a laser show in hopes of bringing attention to smokestack’s potential of being a canvas for laser and light projection presentations.
Historical landmark?! What a joke!
I’m all for saving it!!!
This man made monstrosity is not a work of art! It’s an eyesore! Tear the stack down!
The Carlsbad Stack is a unique architectural feature for our city. Let’s hope we can find away to keep it. Merry Christmas to everyone and thanks for the wonderful lightshow!
Even though I am not a Californian, I hope the Carlsbad Ca, smokestack stays, for it is an iconic historical landmark, for Carlsbad ca, and it can be seen from sea, land, and air. It is also a testimony to the past, of the hard work, that past generations built, in American architecture heritage. We cannot lose old architecture heritage, for future unborn generations, need to see, what America has built, in the past, whether it be cars, houses, that smokestack, and so on. As a West Texan, who proudly lives in Carlsbad,Texas, our smokestack(which is a smaller smokestack, leveling out at 110 to 130 ft, has been in place, since the 1920s at the San Angelo state supported living center, mental health facility, in Carlsbad,Texas. Our stack is an icon, and when I see our smokestack from Hwy 87, or from the sky, I know home is close by, and that is a good feeling. Keep fighting for your/our American architecture heritage.
