N.M. town razes 'Stonefridge' sculpture (AP)
From The Associated Press through The Boston Globe:

SANTA FE, N.M. --Goodbye, Stonefridge. Or, if you prefer, Fridgehenge.
A sculpture of more than 100 old refrigerators, stacked and arranged in a ring like England's Stonehenge, was removed by the city last week.
Strong wind had toppled much of the 80-foot-high, graffiti-covered structure, and city and state officials found that it had become a health and safety hazard.
Officials in this artists' haven had only reluctantly let Adam Horowitz create the public art work nearly a decade ago. But it had become a cult phenomenon and a tourist destination, featured on television and in print worldwide.
