Why is Mr. Peanut hanging from the Mahoning Ave. bridge where Oak Hill meets Mahoning Ave?
One of the construction workers painted it when the bridge was first built.
Again, maybe I need tri-focals...but it looks to me like it's attached and hanging from the bridge....
I think that after they repainted it (the bridge) a while back there was such a hugh and cry that the origional Mr. Peanuts was replaced. Perhaps Jay could fill in the details.
I would have thought that the guru of newspaper archive searching (Townntalk) would have provided a link to the Vindicator article from a few years ago when the bridge was rebuilt. :)
For some reason I can't figure out how you do it or I'd help.
It did tell the story of Mr. Peanut
:) :) How's this my friend? :) :)
