One of the many things I love about Austin is its tendency to bolt wacky sculptures to its buildings. There's the Mangia dinosaur (now stalking the roof of the Wheatsville Co-op), the Blue Genie, the pumped-up arm of that gym on Guadalupe, the tentaskull on Burnet, and a ton more.
There's even water heater rockets, blasting off to parts unknown, looking for the next adventure. And that, really, kind of sums up what it's like living in this town.

You forgot Maria! And the Hyde Park Bar & Grill fork! And the veggies and fruits on top of the Book People/REI/Anthropologie parking garage! W00T! Nice rocket buddy. I bet you get that all the time though...
It's not a sculpture but... my cousin's ex-boyfriend's uncle (or something) painted the "Hi, how are you?" frog if you've happened across that.
