gondola

The Los Angeles City Council challenged Mayor Karen Bass last week, overwhelmingly passing a resolution urging Metro to kill the proposed Dodger Stadium gondola and urging Bass to lend her support.

“I surely have. It’s a magnificent vessel, much larger than this one. Looks a bit like a gondola! It’s nicely camouflaged, too.”

Frank McCourt’s Dodger Stadium gondola plan might help fans get to the stadium faster, but why would he potentially undermine his parking lot revenue?

“I’m going to be here whether the gondola is here or not,” he said.

In Monet’s views of the Palazzo Ducale seen from a gondola, the pale wall of the building and its block of rosy reflection threaten to become an abstraction.
