Connecticut: Paul Bunyan Muffler Man
In Cheshire, CT, on the front lawn of the House of Doors, stands a 26-foot tall statue of everyone’s favorite lumberjack. Fun Fact: Today he holds an American flag, but originally he was installed with an ax. The town, in an effort to have the whole statue removed, cited legislature that requires all signs to be no higher than 7 feet tall. As a response, the owners turned Paul into a “flagpole,” freeing him from local jurisdiction.
