"It's awesome," said Sandra Brocious, one of dozens of people who were snapping the disk on their smartphones Wednesday morning.
"I wish it were spinning," she added, noting that she planned to return later in the week to see if warmer temperatures would budge the disk. "With a little warm weather, I think it'll start to spin again," said Kim Gass of Raymond, Maine, explaining that the disk is certainly worth multiple visits.Westbrook Mayor Michael Foley said return visitors are exactly what the city was hoping for when it immediately captured pictures and videos of the disk earlier in the week.
"We tried to capitalize on it as quickly as we could," he said, explaining that he has heard anecdotally that people coming to see the disk are certainly a boost to local businesses in cold, quiet January, even though the city has not tracked that phenomenon with data."Stay in safe areas, look at it from afar and we encourage people to not go on the ice in any conditions," Foley said.
