The polar bears are still in good shape (The snowballs have not melted yet). The road is busy, so pull into the parking lot. Very easy access.
[cydav, 10/31/2015]I lived in Nashville on Edgehill Avenue in the early 1970s and always liked these statues. At the time they were in front of a funeral home. I had always heard that the home was a house of ill repute prior to being a funeral home.

Glad to see the polar bears are still in Nashville.

Be careful when exploring this part of town. The sculpture is not in the best part of Nashville.

For years these bears stood in a front yard on Edgehill and both faced traffic. When it snowed, it looked like they were throwing snowballs at passing cars. They have since been moved up the street to a little park in front of a tall apartment building and stand facing each other. Not quite the same. I have been passing them since 1972 and they have been here longer than that.
