I know kat. Instead of frowning, yelling or crying when I see the worst of things, I tend to smile; and at all the wrong times: funerals, fights, Jerry’s Kids Fundraisers, and so forth.

The first time I saw the Statue of Liberation, I laughed so hard tears came. It’s a mournful sight.

The one in Birmingham Alabama was built by the Libery National Life Insurance company located in that city. It was complemented by the Vulcan statue on top of Red Mountain (symbolizing the city’s steel industry). The insurance company went defunct and the statue is now in Libery Park in Vestavia Hills- a suburb of Bham.

We have a Lady Liberty here in Lima, Peru. Not only is there a replica of the statue, it’s part of a replica of the New York, New York casino…. so, the statue is a replica of a replica :D

The boy scout ones look like it came with a simple concrete plinth and some cities chose to gussy it up with brick, stone or additional carving most left it as is

There is a 36-foot Statue of Liberty (With Authentic Flaming Torch! the commercial would undoubtedly say) in Birmingham, AL, visible from I-459 near I-20 on the east side. There a big Boy Scouts building behind it, although it’s not one of the little Liberties.

It’s near Liberty Parkway (naturally) in Birmingham, AL, or go to “33° 28.938′N 86° 42.434′W” to see it. It’s about 130 yards from the shoulder of the highway on a pentagonal pedestal in the center of the star in the big circle. (The Roadside America link is on my name, if you’d like a place to start reading.)

There is one right outside the main gate at Yokota AB in Japan. On the roof of a building.
