Lee Statue on Monument Avenue. July 28, 2013. Richmond, Virginia.
I heard a story that all the horse's behinds on Monument Avenue are "facing" North. True or False?
That is false. The Stuart and Jackson statues face Northeast. The Lee statue faces Southwest.
Thanks. Another myth bites the dust.

A very timely article regarding the statues on Monument Avenue.
I actually live a few hundred feet from the Arthur Ashe statue. It is a treat to have such an interesting running route.
Did you live there when they put the statue up? That riled some people up. I didn't have a problem with it.
Monument ave is still one of the most beautiful places throughout the year on a nice sunny evening like that, or when the leaves start to turn etc.
Thankfully the rate of defacing with grafitti on Lee's statue has declined recently.
