    Hobo Joe in Buckeye was repainted and put back in a place of honor by the Main Street Coalition. He was sculpted by a Disney Sculptor- I am surprised that you missed that fact. The woman who pushed hard to have him restored was Charlene Broadbent. She loved the City off Buckeye and the Mayor fought her on restoring and replacing him in the city because he didn’t want Hobo Joe to be a symbol for the city. She had land donated by the Youngker family. Charlene placed Hobo Joe such as the Mayor can see him from the third floor of City Hall. Sadly my friend Charlene passed in January 2021 from Covid 19. May she Rest In Peace and Humor knowing great people like Adam will have Hobo Joe and Buckeye living on for thousands.

    Hobo Joe's was a chain of coffee shops--each one had a smaller version of the statue you saw. They had great breakfasts and hamburgers, served with a freight train motif.

    In the 70s there was a Hobo Joe's coffee shop a mile away from where I live. The Hobo Joe statue had a small dog at his feet and he was holding a tooth pick with a cigar butt.

    Hobo Joe's used to be a restaurant chain in the late 60's and disappeared in the late 70's. The statues used to have him holding a stick with a bag on the end, and there was also a small dog at his feet. This statue is a throwback for me, as I remember eating at those restaurants when I was a kid in Phoenix.

    Another interesting tidbit about that stop where there was a demolished lower torso next to a cleared out restaurant. It was a a complex that included a restaurant (Nickerson Farms), a gas station and a trading post. The legs belonged to an Indian statue outside the trading post. The restaurant was known for producing its own honey, so I found it interesting that Adam found a bee in his steering wheel.... www.placesthatwere.com/2015/11/arizona-nuthouse-and-demise-of.html

    Hello friend, to answer some questions, the flowers were lantana, the drum object is an antenna of sorts. The figure by the Nickerson farms was an Indian standing next to the trading post store/gas station/restaurant that used to be there. It was actually a super cool place that used to sell fresh honey and, had this super rad window you could see the hives, probably why there was a little bee that said hello. There is also a pretty neat little aviation museum near all those planes. Safe travels to you and thanks for showing some weird stuff throughout Arizona on its 109th birthday.

    I have owned copies the first 3 of the 4 seasons Airwolf was on tv for many years now (DVD), and I surprised myself that I knew and remembered the actual episode name of "Sweet Britches" (Season 2; Episode 1) just from the scenery before Adam said they were featured in Airwolf. In between watching this video I watched that episode in its entirety. What a good memory jog since I have not watched an episode for a couple years now. Thanks for the jog down memory lane, Adam. :D
