The Historic District’s Lions Are on the Move

photo-45If you’ve seen these lion statues move in the Historic District, you’re not imagining things.

The two lions grace the entrance of a historic home at the corner of 43rd Avenue and Kennedy Street. Typically, statues like this face outward, as with the famous lions in front of buildings belonging to the HSBC Group, a banking company.

But this particular pair has moved around every few weeks, sometimes facing outward, sometimes inward, and sometimes facing each other.

Fans of the “Dr. Who” series may not want to blink around these lions, but for the rest of us, it’s mostly just fun to see if they’ve moved when you pass the house.
