Jacksonville Beach, Florida: Statue of Pegasus

In 1961 an animal vet bought a Pegasus from Jacksonville Beach carousel and put it on the front lawn of his clinic. It was destroyed by a drunk driver in 2006, but the town missed it so much that local artist Ali Miruku created a new, eight-foot-tall fiberglass Pegasus, unveiled on the same spot in 2008. Morons tore off a wing and leg in 2013, the town again rallied, and a restored Pegasus returned in March 2014.

Statue of Pegasus

Pegasus, the winged horse, is most recognized in Greek mythology. This statue looks good, and it's a great thing that the town kept replacing him when he was damaged. Maybe the vandalism has finally stopped.

In plain site from the street. You'll be pleased to know, fellow roadsiders, that Pegasus still has all his parts!

[Jennifer Gilmore, 04/13/2014]

The original sculpture first appeared in 1961, but the town loves a winged horse, so he's been replaced and repaired as vital appendages have disappeared.
