A friend from Florida is vacationing in Chicago, and sent me this picture he took near the Sears Tower. Anyone know anything about this or what the back story is on this statue?

Interesting Statue near the Sears Tower

Reminds me of this:
It's a former cornfield that was donated to the city, who then made it into a park. They erected over 100 corn ear statues to commemorate the corn that used to be grown here. Maybe some of you C-bus guys could explain it a litle better than I.

Your picture didn't come out
I can see it in both my post and your reply. Weird.

Most likely because it's locally stored on your computer.

I see it, too. It reminded me of the line in Half Baked where they visit Kenny in jail and ask him about his time. "You ever run backward through a corn field naked?" What on Earth would cause someone to take a park for public use and fill it with statues of ears of corn? Seems counter-productive. Kind of cool, though.

You'll see it everytime you come back.
Doesn't explain the statue though. I have heard about a statue of a man tossing a frisbee for a dog, wonder if that's it and we just can't see the dog statue.

Well I'm lost....two different pictures showing two different statues of two different things and some how they tie in together....oooooook.......whatever......
O, I see they finaly finished that statue of me.
I heard they were renaming the Sears tower, it will no longer be American, goin back to the Brits. I tell you there still trying to take back the collonys from us sepratests. LOL
I still don't see the corn on this page. The link worked, but this page's pic didn't.
What a threadjack......I think the guy with the frisbee is awesome anyone know if it is the dog or is it disc golf or is it anything else?

huh, I'll be in the "loop" for work in 2 weeks, I'm gonna have to check this out
It would have been cooler if there was a disc golf basket that he was throwing to.
