    There used to be a statue of a pioneer family that was removed because they were carrying a bible and someone was offended.

    I was going to say "it looks like someplace they used to have a statue," but I'm not familiar with the specific history.

    I'm amused by that mini-roundabout quite often, as I embark and disembark at the 7th Street stop on the MAX.

    @Brian - Is that true or are you being snarky. If that is true, we should find said statue and have the city put it in Pioneer Square or something.

    My vote is for future location of a holographic display, what with the Singularity and all. One must plan ahead.

    Brian beat me to it. It is a true story.

    I can't remember where they moved the statue though.

    This is the statue: http://www.portlandbridges.com/00,D300CRW01170,...

    They moved it to the park downtown by the federal courthouse.
