Stamford has a lot of statues. WWI, immigrant experience, etc. The usual.
However, when first driving into town, I was horrified to find lifelike statues on street corners or even lying on public benches at every turn. (Only much later did I find out that every year Stamford hosts a different outdoor statue exhibit. This summer was devoted to the work of Seward Johnson.)
The exhibit included this Ginormica-sized status of Marilyn Monroe which lorded over Latham Park near my apartment building.
But the most horrifying discovery was this nearby vacant lot used for storage of the statues as the exhibit was disassembled!
