I'll be first. Yes I guess I missed it. There is another in Charlotte that I can't get a view of. Find another and post it (rv only) or let us know and it will be added (the rest of you) I still can't find it now. Even resorted to the Clue and rode up and down the short stretch of road and still can't find it. Went beyond but still no time. Missed it

That was one corner I thought it was likely to be. Almost clicked past it again this time around.
Maybe you can find the REAL find photo I took at Alexandriana too. I'm sure it clicked when I took it. Two photos from now on.
on another note
MAN, LOOK AT THAT FLAG COLLECTION

I see you found it! Good job!
I'll admit I was being mean with my lack of specific hints on that one...
Sorry for the slow reply.

The stretch of road is pretty short. I should have found it but pre conceived ideas about corners and eating establishments kept me on the wrong trail.

Maybe they are planning some road work and he will be back. Can't see them removing him. I don't think he was a Confederate

Please excuse me sticking my nose in ... I believe a DNF post is about the waving man statue (with towel) .... the statue was moved during construction. It is supposed to be returned. At least that’s what the paper said a bit ago - I think it might have been in a letter to the ed question. I was going to go do a Real find but didn’t because I remembered the mention in the paper. It gavel fall eta.
excuse me if this isn’t the one you are talking about. It just sounded like it.

Actually that is the right statue (guy with towel).
I have the Real story of where he is right now. (a WFAE puplic radio/podcast that answers questions about Charlotte)
Hugh was the victim of an auto accident that knocked him down. He was removed and placed in an undisclosed warehouse location.
Main breakage was around the ankles and arm.
Money was raised locally for an artist to restore the damaged statue. The construction was found to be "unique" by the artist.
Repairs should have been started by now but it may be a while before his return.

There are 3 in Charlotte that I can't seem to get a virtual eyeball on...
"Deco Clock" - Did the new apartment building eat this one?
"Stray Cannon" - Just have no clue what to look for. I'm assuming a cannon, but i see nothing at that intersection
"How About Some Art" - There's a lot of sculptures at UNCC. IDK if the images attached are expired links in the VRC page, but I can not see which one to look for. I'll assume the Niner Miner, BUT without being sure I don't wanna post it.
Other than those three, I crushed Mecklenburg for virtual finds.

DNF for "Walking On Water" in Lincoln County. Found the nearby park, but never found the street name, or the google sphere drop point.

Deco Clock:
Appears to still be there in street view
Stray Cannon:
Is still there.
New photo added
Google Spheres may be an issue.
I cannot locate them on the map as I once did
Doobs has a sphere source but I could not get it to work.
these may be discontinued by Google
Walking on Water is a sphere photo and may be inaccessible
