?Ess-a-Bagel – New York I got the signature favorite on everything bagel! It was absolutely delicious – one of the best bagels I’ve ever had?? There was more than plenty of cream cheese and fillings (onion, tomato & salmon) which made the whole bagel more flavorful. ?TIP: Order online on their website and skip the line! It was fresh when I picked it up and I enjoyed my bagel at the store without a single wait☺ 먹어본 베이글중에 제일 맛있었어요! 줄이 어마무지했지만 온라인으로 주문하고 픽업하니까 너무 간편하더라고요. 크림치즈랑 안에 들어있는 재료 모두 듬뿍 아낌없이 주셨어용ㅎㅎㅎ? . . . #food #foodporn #foodie #yum #delicious #foodstagram #foodlover #likeforlikes #buzzfeast #dailyfoodfeed #tryitordiet #eeeeeats #jmt #맞팔 #좋아요 #좋아요반사 #일상 #데일리 #먹스타그램 #먹방 #맛집 #소통 #먹스타맞팔 #bagel #breakfast #베이글 #아침 #nycfood #nyceats #뉴욕

43 Giant Busts of U.S. Presidents Are Just Sitting in a Field in Virginia

Were you lucky enough to see the wonderful statues (erected in 2004) at Presidents Park in Williamsburg, Virginia? Well, consider yourself lucky – because the park closed due to lack of visitors in 2010.

Today, 43 giant busts of American Presidents sit on a farm in Virginia just waiting for someone, anyone, to figure out what to do with them. It’s too bad, because they are very impressive.

Posted by Renew the Presidents on Friday, February 2, 2018

The busts were made by David Adickes, an artist from Houston who was inspired to create the pieces after he visited Mount Rushmore. After six years on public display, the heads had to be moved after the land where the park was located was sold.

Howard Hankins, who helped construct Presidents Park, removed the giant heads to his family farm until a decision is made about what’s next for the unique collection. Each head weighs 22,000 pounds, and they stand 18 to 20 feet tall. It took Hankins a week to lug all 43 of the statues to his property.

The Presidents in winter.

What comes next for the statues is up in the air. A crowdfunding campaign has been launched to open a museum that will feature the artifacts, but some of the statues are falling into disrepair and need a touch-up.

As of right now, the presidential busts are held on private property, which means they are not open to the public.

Hopefully, that will change in the future…
