What the heck is that sitting on the patio of an urban McDonald's in Denver? Whatever it is, it has its own pigeon.

Some kind of heroic memorial?

I see, it's "The Fireboys Team." Huh?

There's an eager one.

This one seems to be having hat trouble.

The hero at the top pokes a stick into thin air.
Awfully homogenous little critters, these figures. A lot of firefighters I know aren't nearly so blond or so male. My friend who lives in the neighborhood suspects this piece of "art" was a response to NIMBY objections to the McDonald's.
It probably would have been cheaper for them simply to visit a garden supply company for a set of these:

Guess they would have needed plastic plants too, tho.

It looks like a pedophile version of the Mechanics' Statue on Market and Sansome in San Francisco. I love that it's part of a new genre, Strip Mall Statuary.
Beautiful observations ... and I like the pigeon part! :-)
I think I would like some statuary in our strip malls. It would be a definite improvement.
