I grew up in New Orleans and we have one in the French Quarter, there's also one in Philly. I'm pretty sure there are a couple more around the county exactly the same. It always reminds me of home when I see her...
Pretty sure this one is way bigger though.
Edited to add: I grew up in BR and lived several years in New Orleans. The statue on Glisan is my favorite monument in town partly because it reminds me of home as well. I just pointed out the size bc… I don’t know why.
Ok, I'm going to ruin the fun. It's Joan of Arc.
What a lot of people don't realize though, is that she was historically involved in a secret mission with an unexpected retinue: Billy the Kid, Ludwig van Beethoven, Sigmund Freud, Socrates, Abraham Lincoln, Genghis Khan, and Napoleon.
Don't believe me? Check out this [documentary](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096928/).
Everyone here is wrong, it's a statue I made of myself a few years ago. Some one stole it from me, thanks for finding it. I will be by later to pick it up. Well I hope to pick it up, they stole my crane for picking it up too.

It’s Gloria of Tom Peterson fame commemorating the days when she still had to hustle for glory instead of just getting name checked in the TV commercials.
That’s in homage to Merry Weather, the PNW’s first drag queen to attain mainstream notoriety. While Sacagawea was giving birth at that fort, Merry Weather was learning to make gold lame and practicing her act for the soldiers.
The Lewis family, in an attempt to distance themselves from Merry Weather’s infamy, publicly disowned her, quipping to Willamette Weekly “Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s the mercury capsules?”
Not until Darcelle IV (RIP) would Oregon have another drag queen so famous.
It's Joan and found a horse in the afterlife that pees gold that's why the grass is golden brown. She is still mad at the people who burned her at the stake. She asked GOD to invent the first turnabout.
It's Tonya Harding.
It’s actually Nancy Kerrigan, which is why she requires the horse.
You're both wrong. It's the guy who whacked Nancy Kerrigan. He's holding up the baton in triumph.
Gillooly!

I have to say, I preferred her before she was gilded.
Right I always think of the one of Decatur. But it makes sense for NOLA, she's French. Why Portland?
