I enjoyed the statues.......hate to see them go.

It was fun watching the overimbibers carrying on a conversation with them.

I also agree with Mr Kinderman in reference to the statues appearance. It was pleasant and different. A number of times, I would get to work here downtown around 5:00 AM and see a shadowy figure standing next to the theater. I would think to myself... what is that person doing there... then I would remember it was the statue. I also have enjoyed watching people study the statues just like one would do with an interesting painting in an art gallery.
Ill have good memories.

Ms Bobin stated...Oh, I think Mr. Kinderman is way too straight-laced for that, Mr. Chaney...
Ms Bobin... I have not thought of Mr Kinderman as straight-laced.. I just think of him as ethical and principled... depending on what one perceives it to be, maybe you are right!

Oh, I think Mr. Kinderman is way too straight-laced for that, Mr. Chaney. It actually states that in the last sentence of the article.

Jerome, only you would conjure up a demented idea of groping a statue? Prattle on, brother.

Oh no! Statues being "groped" right here in our own version of "River City?" That spells trouble with a capital “T!” Well, thankfully they're on their way out because I'm sure that window washer was just asking for it!
In all seriousness, I'm actually going to miss "them" as each time I've either walked the streets or driven through the downtown area, there was an air of "uniqueness" in Lodi - a description often attributed to this, but until their arrival I never really sensed it.
Perhaps if we paid “Bob” a little more he’d reconsider being moved back to Joisey?
