Stopped there 07/25/23 and didn't see the head in the park anymore.

[Shelly, 07/25/2023]

The head, which had suffered graffiti vandalism, was moved to the gated yard of a local historian, who promised to restore it and return it to public view, someday.

Very fun to look at, and it's in a neat little park downtown. It's getting some wear and tear with time, but still very fun to interact with.

Seems horrified that he's been tagged.

This was so fun! On a trip to Key West this was our first stop. The artist that made the walk-thru head did a fabulous job. It was one of my favorite stops.

The Head is right is downtown Jacksonville, so parking is difficult during the work week. We drove in circles to find a open spot. Stay about two blocks away to find more open meters. Have a quarter handy to get 30 min parking.
