I stopped by the town of White House last week and the ape is no longer at Nervous Charlie's. I found out the business was sold to a new owner two months ago and that the ape is now in front of Sad Sam's Fireworks in Cross Plains, the same place that has the tall Indian.

There is a big ape outside Nervous Charlie's Fireworks Shell Gas Station. It's off I-65 exit 108 going towards town. It's next to the ice cooler.
