The road around the former bank is all ripped up and under construction. Local guy told us the big comb art piece was replaced with a rent-a-bike stand.

Pretty cool comb. Needs a little TLC. What's strange is that there are no other art pieces around....

The bank is closed, but the big comb is right in front of it. Almost missed it.
