Kankakee, Illinois - Giant Abe Lincoln

Previously submitted but now I have a photo for you. Abe Lincoln faces south alongside Interstate 57. He's north of the road and west of the Rt.50 interchange (I-57, a generally N/S road is running E/W briefly here). He's at a business that rents or sells construction manlift machines. Since my prior sighting he's now done up as Abe Lincoln. Photo from moving car. Will get a better one when I figure out how to get to it other than stopping on the interstate.

[RA: Abe Lincoln, who manlifted slaves from human bondage.]

Here is a really large Lincoln. He can be found traveling North on I-57 toward Chicago, at the 316 mile marker, very near the Kankakee exit. Looks like he may have been holding something in his left hand at one time...probably an ax. So there you have it. [Erika Gray, 09/06/2004]

[RA: Abe is 28 feet tall and stands in front of Alexander Construction and Innovative Mobile Marketing. His hand is designed to hold signs that promote whatever Mr. Alexander feels strongly about at the moment.]
