The above article is from 2005 and mentions that $1,200 was raised in the first year for repairs to Pope park. Interesting that 14,000+ has been raised for the Robocop statue in a few days. Ouch.

From the looks of Pope park am I right in assuming that the fundraising fizzled and no repairs were made to PP? It just seems very odd to me that with the large number of people with Polish ancestry in this area that they wouldn't have had an easier time raising the money.
