Here's one of my favorite downtown denizens, Humpty Dumpty! He has parked himself in many different locations downtown, and currently he resides in front of the Pikes Peak Center. He's a popular guy -- in fact, at one point a couple of years ago he was stolen right off the street! Probably by some drunken sot. Drunken but determined, because you'd really have to want Humpty Dumpty to steal him, he's bolted down and he must weigh a ton!
I'm not sure if this is a replacement Humpty or if the original was returned by the drunken, determined sot, but I'm glad he's back. This and many other pieces of public art are a part of the Art on the Street program (http://www.artonthestreets.com/), which is currently taking entries for 2009. So if you have an interesting sculpture that you'd like to submit for the pleasure of Colorado Springs residents, you have until February 25th -- hurry up!

How fun to have Humpty Dumpty wandering about town!
Hee hee, fun! He looks like a chocolate egg though. Yummm… ;D
I like him. I bet he cheers a lot of people up when they walk by!
That's too cute!
