    Here is another perspective of the Andrew Jackson statue. As you can see, it seems to salute the city's modern skyscrapers.

    Sculptures, murals & public art: Andrew Jackson -- for whom the city is named

    This sculpture depicts former President Andrew Jackson as a general on horseback. Jackson was an important figure in the history of Florida, so it makes sense that today the state's largest city, Jacksonville, is named in his honor. Of course, the irony is that Andrew Jackson never set foot in Jacksonville, which during his time was merely a small town named Cowford. Nevertheless, today this likeness of General Jackson seems to salute the landscape of glassy skyscrapers that surrounds him as if proud to see that such a prosperous city bears his name. Look for the statue along Independent Drive, at the northwest entrance to the Jacksonville Landing.

    Sculptures, murals & public art: Manatees on streetcorners?

    Similar to the well known cows that appeared all over the streetcorners of Chicago a few years back, Jacksonville's "Sea Cows for Kids" project has resulted in something like 40 to 50 painted, life-size manatee statues displayed on street corners throughout Downtown and the nearby San Marco and Five Points neighborhoods. First unveiled in 2004 and popular photo ops during Super Bowl week, these local artists' creations will be auctioned off in April of 2005 to support childrens' charities. Hopefully, many of the manatees' new owners will keep their purchases on the streets so that they will continue to serve as part of the city's ever-growing public art displays.
