Every statue tells a story

New York Times | On a Pedestal, but Homeless
Pity Abraham de Peyster, mayor of New York City from 1692 to 1694, acting governor of the colony of New York in 1701, wealthy merchant and philanthropist. He or rather his bronze likeness cannot seem to find a permanent home.
His sculpture has had two homes in the city and will soon be looking for a third, since the park where he sits is scheduled for a de Peysterless renovation.

Here in Atlanta, as occasional tourists have discovered to their chagrin, we rename streets regularly. Maybe we should be more into statuary.
