Here is the 'Panorama camera view' available of Captain John Parker Statue, Lexington, MA for your information that you might enjoy.
It is interesting how timeless the statue remains in the context of modern surroundings that have been continually changing.

Thanks for posting, CM.
I wonder how many folks walk or drive by that statue every day and know nothing about the history we tell at ASs.

Funny you should say that, TruT. My wife and I lived a few towns over in Winchester when we were first married, and I remember driving by the statue and not thinking much of it. This was back in the mid-90s, before my awakening. Such a wasted time - now I have to drive 3 hours to get to Battle Road rather than 20 minutes.
But, I will say that anyone who doesn't notice the statue while driving can be forgiven at certain times during the day. Letting your attention wander while negotiating that area is taking your life in your own hands. Remember - in Massachusetts, turn signals are a sign of weakness.

I thought Bostonians considered using their turn signals to be "giving aid and comfort to the enemy".
I used to drive right through Merriam's Corner every day for 3 years and never knew what happened there. Heck, I didn't even realize why Rt 2A was called Battle Road until I saw a reenactor walking down the road one April morning...
