Bigger is Better? Pt 2

Here's some more really big stuff!

Superman - Metropolis, Illinois
15 ft
This Illinois town took advantage of its shared name with the DC Comic home of Superman by dubbing itself the "Hometown of Superman." A seven foot statue of the superhero was erected in 1986, and then replaced by the current 15 foot bronze one in 1993. Below the statue is inscribed "Truth - Justice - The American Way."

Jolly Green Giant - Blue Earth, Minnesota
55 ft
This giant Jolly Green Giant lives at the birthplace of the Green Giant Company. Aside from living up to his moniker in height, Jolly Green also has a size 78 shoe.

Loon - Virginia, Minnesota and Mercer, Wisconsin
21 ft / 16 ft
The 21 foot long Loon lives in the center of Silver Lake in Minnesota. The locals refer to this loon as the 'world's largest loon decoy.' Mercer, Wisconsin has named itself the "Loon Capital of the World" and boasts a 16 foot loon, that apparently speaks on the days it is actually working.

Tire - Allen Park, Michigan
80 ft
This tire started its life as a Ferris wheel at the New York 1964-1965 World's Fair. It was moved to Michigan where it now stands at the Uniroyal headquarters. The tire weighs 12 tons and would fit on a 200 foot tall car.

Fish - Hayward, Wisconsin
140 ft long, 4.5 stories tall
This muskie stands at the center of the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame and houses a museum within it and an observation deck in its mouth.

Lucy the Elephant - Margate, New Jersey
65 ft
Lucy must have been quite the talk when she was erected as a real estate promotion in 1881. Stairs within the her legs lead up to the rooms inside. Over the years Lucy has been a summer home, tavern, and hotel. Lucy even has her own website.

The Old Lobster Fisherman - Boothbay Harbor, Maine
25 ft
This huge, yellow-clad man is the mascot for Brown's Wharf Inn Motel, operated by the Brown family since 1946. The Fisherman was added around 1994.

Dresser - High Point, North Carolina
40 ft
High Point is known as the "Home Furnishings Capital of the World," celebrated by this 40 foot tall dresser, complete with a pair of socks. The chest of drawers is actually the front of a building housing the High Point Jaycees.

Jimmy Carter Peanut - Plains, Georgia
13 ft
Democrats in Indiana built this smiling peanut for Jimmy Carter's visit to their town during his presidential campaign. The peanut was actually given to the President and now sits near his old campaign headquarters.

Baseball Bat - Louisville, Kentucky
120 ft
It seems obvious that you would find a giant baseball bat in Louisville, the town that made the Louisville Slugger famous. This particular bat leans against the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory and is a replica of Babe Ruth's bat. Close by the bat are the world's largest baseball and baseball glove.
