After years of neglect, Linn Park statue gets facelift
Lede:
Whipped for decades by wind, car exhaust and the occasional stray bullet, the statue of a beloved Birmingham teacher is slowly returning to its former luster.
Okaaaay… There are three bullet holes in the marble statue.
There was a bullet found in the shoulder of the statue of Jesus in front of the Church of the Advent a couple of years ago too.
Apparently downtown gets pretty rowdy sometimes after the bars close.
I was told to avoid Linn Park on a recent trip to Birmingham but we did go to the art museum that’s just across from it.
