Along 66, May 2020: The Buzzard on Route 66 in Springfield, Mo.
MAY 11-- It is located at 2104 College Street, on a Route 66 alignment. What you'd call imaginative yard art, something I always enjoy seeing. The weirder the better in my book.
It is a metal buzzard on a nest that is actually a satellite dish and nearby a sign offering "Fresh Buzzard Eggs for Sale." Very imaginative.
It is owned by Don Wilcox who owns Wilcox Auto Trim, an upholstery ship.
The buzzard used to be on a miniature golf course, but was in bad shape but he fixed it up. While at a farm, he saw the satellite dish and the Buzzard's Nest with those fresh eggs was born.
And, Mr. Wilcox has some other memorabilia items at his ship including a gravity -feed gas pump, an old street lamp, old bicycles, and a Tow Mater sign he's pretty sure used to be at the former Three Women on the Route, now Cars on the Route, in Galena, Kansas.
And, I do love creative, imaginative yard works.
Something Else to See. --RoadDog
