Back in the 1990s, the trio of roadside giants in the first image — pink elephant, towering Indian and modest knight — resided next to Loco Joe’s fireworks in Cross Plains, Tennessee, north of Nashville .
Time took its toll, however. The knight disappeared and the other two figures weathered. They outlasted Loco Joe, however, as well as the adjacent antique mall.
Today the elephant continues to decay in its original spot, glasses gone but still holding the martini glass complete with olive. The Indian moved across the road to Sad Sam’s fireworks and has been refurbished.
You can read about the Indian’s makeover here.
Here’s another pink elephant, this one residing in Cookeville, Tennessee, between Nashville and Knoxville.
