Jim. From Kansas.@AbandonedAmerica I wonder what the neighbors would think if I dropped Rutherford B. Hayes in my front yard.

Gregg Alley@AbandonedAmerica Thanks, now I’m going to have nightmares! 😳
MnGarden81@AbandonedAmerica Rapid City undercut them by having a presidential bronze statue on every downtown corner.
Kim Possible@AbandonedAmerica this is scary af!
Mr. Pataphor, Dadaist Dad@kimlockhartga @AbandonedAmerica The park was a total bust.

amelia abreu@AbandonedAmerica ah, back in the day I used to party at a warehouse in Houston behind Adicke’s studio where there was always a bust or two hanging out. 👵
CZEdwards@AbandonedAmerica oof, the locations of the holes in the Lincoln and Kennedy busts.
Donald Joseph@AbandonedAmerica Did you get notified about the PCH lottery
Darrell@AbandonedAmerica a nightmare version of Easter Island.
Aral Balkan@AbandonedAmerica That’s some BioShock-level dystopia.
Fardels BearThis is probably the weirdest and creepiest thing you've ever posted. I thought at first it was photoshopped because nobody in their right mind would ever do something like this in real life. They're like America's very own Easter Island statues of their gods.
The best thing would be to let them slowly decay and the site become overgrown. That way it would become an even more haunting experience.
@riggbeck it definitely will be interesting to see them decay more over the years but they won't make it a fraction of the time the Easter Island statues did. They'd be lucky to make it 3 more decades
The Queen of Weltschmerz🏳️⚧️@AbandonedAmerica @Jwomack Welcome to the Hall of Obvious Political Metaphor…
Darwin Woodka@AbandonedAmerica future Easter Island vibes there "We believe these figures had religious significance..."
Daniel Kochanowicz@AbandonedAmerica It’s a shame the fat orange bastard isn’t there. I could have taken a trip with my sledge hammer.
🦇 Jennie Rigg 🏳️🌈 (she/her)@AbandonedAmerica oh Jesus that's terrifying
Amanda Lillywhite@AbandonedAmerica I'm so glad I follow this account. That is one of the oddest things I've ever seen.
@AmandaLillywhite thanks so much! It was neat to see them in person, they definitely are bizarre
John Clark@AbandonedAmerica Every time I see your shots from here I dig them! Really interesting location and wonderfully captured!
@getrealjc thanks so much John, that's very kind of you!
chandler@AbandonedAmerica find it particularly ironic (or maybe unintentially accurate?) that Lincoln has the back of his head blown out.

@chandlerman art imitates life I guess
DeusWas about to comment, “Good on the people around the area to not go vandalize them..” but then I saw this.
elena perez@AbandonedAmerica had no idea this existed
@elenaperez loads of people don't, it's kind of a weird hidden gem
Mark A Lemley@AbandonedAmerica Not a metaphor at all. Nope
Lars Fosdal@AbandonedAmerica The art is actually quite stunning. So is the concept, for entirely different reasons.
@LarsFosdal I have to agree. On a technical level the sculptures are really well done.
Definitely Doc D@AbandonedAmerica the bit in your linked article about the plan for a bigger better presidents' park with these and "interactivity" - 😱😱😱😱! Are these concrete? Because freeze/thaw will do some great work here if it gets a chance
@docdieterlen I agree completely. Every year these are unsheltered they're a little closer to rubble and moving them again would probably destroy them
M.L. Rhodes@AbandonedAmerica
Thanks for sharing! I had no idea these existed.
