These walks are pure BS designed to "sell" the Fisher Museum. The guide understates everything wrong about the art museum idea or the idea of a big hotel in front of the flagpole. There are no markers to show where things will be or how big they will be, if these huge projects are built. Don't be fooled by Trust propaganda- just look at the announcement for the walk. The humongous museum is barely mentioned. In their propaganda drawings, the perspective of a wide angle lens makes it look insignificant. Have your tour guide walk off the dimensions of the art museum, and you will see how huge it is. BE WARNED. These walks come with a lot of snow. What a crock.
