My submission for shitty hometown sculptures: the friendship shell Bay City, Michigan or as we affectionately call it, the toilet seat.

The Kardashians’ toilet seat
The glorious hole
I live near Sterling Heights, MI, we have the Golden Butthole.
The shitty by the bay
Everyone from r/popping is looking at this and wondering how huge the blackhead is that this comedone extractor is made for.
Damn Mayor, always leaving the toilet seat up
Looks a lot like the blue ring we have here in YYC. Everyone fucking hates it.
That could be a Stargate. But i’ll settle on toilet seat, since most comments here say that
Now I can’t unsee it. Thanks.
Love playing Pokémon Go around there. Tons of stops.
OP, as someone who also grew up in Bay City, I feel you’re not doing it justice to leave out the fact that it used to have a water fountain spraying through the center which REALLY sold the image.
Is that the toilet seat that created a Grim Reaper?
Got that beat.
In downtown Milwaukee and next to the lakefront is the beautiful Quadracci Pavilion by Santiago Calatrava. Just across the bridge is a bright orange steel monstrocity called [‘The Calling’](https://live.staticflickr.com/7904/47599082131_acb2b2b6aa_b.jpg) which has pretty much been universally hated for decades.
Egg
In our downtown we have a little bridge that crosses the riverside street and then exits at what used to be a riverboat casino.
However the casino has been decommissioned and removed. So now it’s just a bridge to nowhere. Has pretty colors at nights tho.
If it was 5x or 6x larger, it would actually be a lot more impressive.
Looks like Hornet
How much?
Marshalltown, IA has something shittier next to the Salvation Army store by the Iowa Veterans home.
Edit. It’s called Echo.
Love public art. Hate it when the artist mails it in.
My hometown of Orlando in June installed a sculpture called “Solidarity” right next to the interstate. It’s 30-35 feet of stainless steel “ribbons” holding up a reflective sphere. The City of Orlando paid $350,000 to have a big metal mirror ball blind people on the interstate. So glad I left.
Shit. This is where I was born. Dad was Army so I never lived there long. Moved back when I was 21 just because and lasted a year. Mills End was still around if you want a time line.
It was going to be a statue of Madonna but she shut it down.
Obviously it was installed by a man.. he left it up..
Good description
Apt nickname since when you look through it, all you see is shit.
Just another way they cover up their embezzlement schemes.
I think the cia started this trend to strip you of your anonymity
My former hometown put that garbage up?
Shame on them. Do they still have the painting of the Bay City Rollers by the river?
I like it.
First thing I saw was an egg with no yolk. Just the ‘all whites’ sculpture
