I used to drove along Lahser in suburban Detroit to avoid the highways, and I’d always spy this giant penguin through the trees. It was hard to see in summer. But in winter? You could get a closer look.
So I zoomed in on him.
No idea why he’s there or what he is up to. But I like him.
Dude, WTF? That’s awesome *and* mysterious!
My family passed by the penguin statue yesterday and it sparked our interest. Family that used to live not far from it didn’t know its origins either. With a little online investigating, it appears to be from the long-gone Detroit restaurant chain Hungry Penguin Fish & Chips.

It was aparently taken by pranksters and held for “ransom” in 1970!
