Description

Boca Grande Capital parking sign from behind 231 Watson. Reserved for: - Clients - Tenants - Harrison Ford 18.25x12.25". Black & brown lettering on white background. Boca Grande is a failed attempt to renew the downtown area. See Archives #2006.0345 Vol. 5 for more information. Harrison Ford is a famous movie actor 1970s-2000s who attended Ripon College but left in 1964 before graduating. Numerous requests by the College to bestow an honorary degree were turned down, and supposedly Mr. Ford has never returned to Ripon. He was involved with the Young Eagles program at the EAA so was as close as Oshkosh.
