Buckeye, Arizona - Hobo Joe statue

Regarding the puzzlement over the Hobo Joe statue: It's a larger-scale version of almost life-size statues of Hobo Joe that used to stand in front of Hobo Joe's coffee shops, a former Arizona chain partly owned by Barry Goldwater's brother, Robert. I visited it today. It's still in good repair. [doc, 04/20/2005]

Buckeye, Arizona - Hobo Joe Statue

A huge fiberglass Hobo resides in Buckeye, Arizona. I'm sorry that I can't relate any other details about his origin. You could probably contact Ray Gillum. -- his name is on the attached plaque and he runs a meat market in Buckeye. The hobo stands on the southeast side of the city at the corner of Monroe and Cemetery road. [Bryce LeGrand, 07/23/2000]
