Bulbous-headed Waitress statue

I don't know if this qualifies as a true roadside attraction, but she sure is ugly! I think she's about 12 feet tall. This giant waitress is located on Route 5 in western NY state, between Dunkirk and Buffalo; I believe it's in Silver Creek. She is in front of a candy store.
