they're great. who are these distinguished gentlemen? i guess... politicians!

i think the third one from the left looks like napolean. you know the french guy on the courvoisier ads. a lovely photo. looks like a drive by shooting- a photo taken from the car window.

we collect the smaller, 'fireplace mantle-sized'busts. typically classical musicians and politicians. the desirable ones for us are made of chalk. we also have plaster ones and one made of plastic. kind of like a dog's chew toy.

Laura : Looks like our past Presidents

ian: Amazing. Where in town is this?

Michael-Ann: 12th Sep 2005 - 14:36 GMT

A little alley near the corner of Washington and Awyer - the lot is open 24-hours for anyone who wants to look.

Peter: 12th Sep 2005 - 15:59 GMT

how interesting... and at the same time, enigmatic.

jeeff: 13th Sep 2005 - 18:41 GMT

shit, imagine walking down a little alley and finding this. i'd freak out.

txtigerl: 7th Mar 2007 - 04:50 GMT

HAHA! I came across this and found it absolutely wonderful, and i believe those are presidents

karlone: 19th Jan 2008 - 17:45 GMT

Very definately US Presidents. I can make out William Harrison, maybe Zachary Taylor, Ulysses Grant with the beard, then maybe Taft, Cleveland, Truman and Eisenhower. I believe the first 2 in the foreground are Bush Sr. and maybe Herbert Hoover.

karlone: 19th Jan 2008 - 17:47 GMT

Actually might be Andrew Johnson next to Harrison.
