Just wondering if anyone has a giant 'figure' in your neck of the woods..

We for example have a GIANT CANDLE building close by..that is purple and has a fake flame atop it...

Always nice to give directions.."when you get to the giant candle turn right...."

We have "The Big Chicken" in nearby Marietta, Ga. Its now a KFC resturant, the building is shaped like a giant chicken and the beak opens and closes. The eyes used to roll around, I don't know if they still do.

In the town I deliver in, I give directions by "the stop sign." whne they ask how far to the stop sign, I just tell them to trust me, it's the only one you'll come to.

Austinburg Ohio, has the worlds largest rocking chair.

I've been to those, I used to live in San Diego and would drive by them on the way to Palm Desert.

In the center of the town I deliver in, there is a statue. Millions of tourists have their picture taken with this statue. However.......the statue is NOT who they think it is.....

I can't tell you more because it would compromise my anonymity...
