and the greatest lawn ornament award goes to ..
a larger than life statue of grant wood’s painting American Gothic. in the middle of a city, no less.
I must know more; who built this? why? and how?
I’ll get to the bottom of it, even if I have to knock on their door. and I’ll report back.
in the meantime, we all need to step our lawn ornament game :)
Interesting…

WOAH!! How interesting….I hope you find out why it was built! I’m so curious!
I need to know more about this magical art installation!
Is this off University ave between Waukee/wdm/clive? If so, it is owned by Krouse’s (the family that owns Kum & Go). They are big art collectors :)
