Something small and contained is the way to go. But maybe, instead of people bringing things (which results in a lot of "stuff" that someone else will ultimately have to dispose or take care of), they could have candles to light or a book to sign.

Did you guys realize that there were people leaving urine and how can i say this gently, fluids only a man can produce on the fence in mason jars and viles? Just nasty

Why are you quoting us? Direct this at people who are whining about this stuff being removed.

Or better yet - don't mention such grossness, at all. Nobody needed to read that.

If people are doing that nastiness that big ol wall wont stop them lololol

All you have to do it copy and paste it. Pretty easy. Anyone can do it, there are no ifs, or buts, or exceptions.

Regarding the items, winter is coming. Specifically, winter in Minnesota. It's reasonable that they're being taken down. They can't be there forever. Anything written on has probably already gotten partially destroyed in rain, from the sun, is covered in dust, or a combination of all three.

Earlier in the year, Tyka or someone said they were being cataloged according to fence section, and stored. I don't know if that is still holding true. But at some point, things have to be more user and visitor friendly, and frankly traffic friendly, and aesthetically not an eyesore. While a memorial is not an eyesore, this is a business,and there are things they will want to do and keep certain ways.

Stop being an ass to people.

You settle down over there.

This is sad. I understand where they are coming from- distractions are a hazard for people on the road- but it doesn't make it any more unfair. Lots of fans from all over the world paid their respects there. Is there not a side of Paisley that has the fence where the road isn't directly facing? Fans could pay respects there possibly.

And yeah- when it all starts to pile up it probably should be taken down and archived because like another orger said, it does look messy after a while and it does create shelter for critters.

The thing about the jars though- what the actual fuck? Who does that?! Those can't have been left by fans, thats just some sick idea of a joke.

I think the best memorial we can give Prince is if they were to do food drives or coat drives. Prince used to do that at his concerts. If fans/fams want to pay their respects they can take food or clothing to a designate place at Paisley Park, and then what is gathered can be donated to local charities around Minne. It would be a way to honor Prince and a way to give back to the city of Minne for sheltering our man for all those years.

Total BS. The Paisley Police could have at least waited until AFTER the "official" tribute weekend was over.

Obviously many fans are coming to town for the tribute events. No one with PP management considered that fans could be looking forward to taking in and seeing in person the wonderful tributes to Prince, just as people have left them, along the fence?

Inconsiderate and dumb business move to deny loyal fans (aka customers) that opportunity.

Then, Paisley Park management took things one step further and have expressly forbid fans (aka loyal customers) from leaving any mementos on the fence (as they visit Paisley for the tribute weekend) to pay their respects to Prince.

FAIL.

I think everyone knows that the tributes on the fence can't go on forever, but the tribute weekend is just three weeks away. Still, I guess they are trying to prepare for the start of tours. This is still all so unbelievable. Even though it has been five months now, I think everyone is still just reeling. Whatever the case, I hope they scrap the plans for a tall wall around PP. I saw some pictures of some really nice tall wrought iron fences. I think that would perhaps be a nice alternative. Also, like many have said here, there needs to be somewhere that people can leave mementos and tributes.

Yes it is September 29, I knew Minnesota was cold, but its not Greenland or Arctic Alaska. Surely the first snow is over a month off. September 29 is barely fall, let alone winter.

.

I was actually more worried after his passing,as late April can have a rogue snowfall or cold snap, but the weather seemed to hold and a site I fund showed it was about 55 when he died and warmed up to the 70s by the end of April.

I think people forget that that Paisley Park is still private property. All of us are still grieving over the passing of Prince, but if folks really love Prince, they would be respectful of the complex the way Prince had it before he died and also of the administrators of Prince's estate that is trying to keep Paisley Park profitable to keep the studios, soundstage, video production and rehearsal space operational. Jimi Hendrix fans don't leave mementos of remembrance no matter how heartfelt in front of Electric Ladyland Studios. I just hope it doesn't become a situation where some fans become so dug in they leave some stuff on the fence and the city of Chanhassen has to take action by making it impossible for fans to access Paisley Park at all.

It's time. Paisley Park itself is now the memorial.

Pay your respects inside now. Buy a ticket for the tour and support the family.

The video took me through a journey of the last few months and was touching, but I understand they have to try and keep the fence clean now as the weather turns to winter.

Also - can you please correct the spelling from Paisly to Paisley ?????????

I agree, the building is the Memorial not the fence.

Some of y'all dun lost yer dam minds. Do you really think Prince would want people hanging stuff all over Paisley Park's fence and pissing off his neighbors?

This is what I think too, enough time has gone by and Prince would hate it - looking all messy with the winter coming - its time to let it look Pristine as it always has.

can someone explain leaving bodily fluids there??? whats the mentality behind this?

I just don't agree with the "wall" around PP. I don't think that is something Prince would want.

.

I do agree that they should have some type of "memorial" somewhere in Chanhassen so that people can pay their respects. But then again, that will be a major undertaking.

this is just so stupid. People have no idea what they are talking about. There is not a solid wall going up around Paisley. PERIOD. Watch the council meeting, you can view them online if you aren't in Minnesota. It will clear up many of the misconceptions.

Not really beyond, some idiots pissing on the fence, but it may refer to a popular creepy pasta.

.

Haunted castle rides at Disneyland and Disneyworld Orlando reported a problem with people sprinkling ashes of dead people, who were fans of Disney and apparently some of the ashes contained real ghosts. The attraction had to be closed a few years ago to remove the ashes.

.

Maybe some deranged fan could have someone scatter their ashes inside Paisley park and then we have demented fans haunting Prince's essence there. Not the nice sensitive fans, but probably the obese heffas who were always trying to hump him (Screams of "Oh hell naw!" and "Exxcuuuuusseee me gurllll!" have been heard near the soundboards)

.

Then you may have a pervert or two, who decides to masturbate in there and leave their cream all over the mixing boards.

Those converting Paisley Park into a museum say they want to preserve the property as Prince would want it. But they also want to keep Prince’s legacy as a “good neighbor” intact, which is why the museum operators included plans for an opaque fence if fans persist in putting memorials and tributes on and near the current chain link fence.

Earlier this week, balloons, flowers, cards and other tributes to Prince were removed from the fence because they, along with the steady stream of fans, were causing problems in the neighborhood. Vehicles stopped illegally near the site and pedestrians ran across roads where cars travel at 45 mph. A few fans went into a nearby day care to use the bathrooms; someone else knocked down the center’s mailbox, the Paisley Park source said.

“That’s not being very neighborly,” he said.

So the memorials on the fence were removed and a sign went up: “Help us be a good neighbor. Please don’t hang or place anything on or near the fence.”

The tributes that were taken down will be photographed and digitized for an “online wall” that fans can use to post additional remembrances. The museum also will include a digital exhibit of fan artwork and other Prince tributes.

http://m.startribune.com/fear-not-prince-fans-paisley-park-wall-rumors-put-to-rest/395471351/

Looks like if fans don't put stuff on the fence, then the wall won't go up.

Also looks like everything that was on the fence will be digitized for an online wall.
