Update Feb 26, 2005:

BOSTON – “The Gates,” a public design project in New York’s Central Park by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, is giant, “saffron colored” and cost $20 million.

“The Somerville Gates,” by financial adviser Geoff Hargadon, is tiny, orange and cost $3.50.

Hargadon — “Hargo,” as he’s now known — had to shut down his Web site featuring photos of his gates after it received 5.5 million hits in one week.
