9. Maybe a fundraiser?

Waaaaay back in my high school days we had a thing called a "car smash". They dragged in some older car, no engine but body in decent shape, and charged $1.00 a ticket; each ticket got you one swipe with a sledgehammer, and guys were lined up around the block. At the end, the car was unrecognizable, but the team raised quite a bit of money while the hammer-wielders worked off some of their aggravations. I bet that hideous arch thing would sell enough tickets, say at $100 per ticket, to reduce that thing to a pile of rubble, with enough cash left over to restore the spot. I'd also bet that the ticket line would wind around most of the mid-Atlantic states.
