Default New Statue...Legal?
I noticed this statue at the entrance to Bridgeport at Lake Miona Village. This thing is huge, maybe 15 feet. I would have suspected that the deed restrictions would have prohibited this, even at this village.

Don't ever, EVER mess with Paul B! But you'd have to go to Akin, MN to see the real thing.

A response to "Treegate" at Lake Miona.
