Grannies Panties is no longer open. Had a note that said "temporarily closed" because of Covid. They still haven't been reopened in 2023. Sculptures still there.

It sits out front of the antique store "Everything but Grannies Panties" on Guess Rd in Durham. It's made out of an assortment of metal and it's fun (as is the store).
