I remember the Giant Prospector. Before he sat on the corner of the Barter Post Furniture and Estates, he used to sit on a outdoor balcony over the entrance to another building. The entrance was on the corner of two streets. I don't remember if it was the same business name. But I have distinct recollection of the Prospector sitting over the store entrance. This would have been in the early 1980s. I haven't thought about him in over 30 years.
