Seen Your Bull Frog


Erie has all of these frog statues in weird places all over town. I wonder if there's a google map for them (leave a comment if you know of one). My regular grocery store, Wegman's on Peach St. has a matator frog - a "Seen Your" bull frog to be exact. He even has bulls-eyes (see photo inset). There's also a golden frog whose tongue is made of rubies outside a credit union on Pittsburgh St.

Pretty cool frog, as frog statues go, lol, but I have to wonder why a city would have a frog as it's mascot? Also cool photo inset of the eye--so hi-tech, Grace!

it's not the city's mascot, but every couple years there's a city-wide art project and local artists decorate these statues. we also have statues of fish that are still around from a couple years ago.
