statues

When I'm driving, I'm focused on the cars around me, as I should be, but for some reason these statues grabbed my attention and I can't believe I've never seen them before.

When the Downtown Albany Business Improvement District (BID) first decided to seek artists proposals to decorate Nipper the Dog statues to display in downtown Albany, they had no idea how successful it would be.

You would expect to see your favorite movie stars in the Hollywood Wax Museum or some place similar.  Maybe at Universal Studios, Florida.  That would make sense.   But cities are now commemorating their favorite movie stars by putting statues up--like Robocop in Detroit.  And you think THAT'S strange?
