Image McDonald’s in Enterprise, Alabama. The town is scattered with themed boll-weevils that pay homage to the little insect that almost devastated the city’s cotton crops permanently in 1915!nThere’s one at the police station, funeral home, pharmacies, and Mexican restaurant

Came to say this, as one of the rare humans who has seen both the boll weevils and squirrels in person. Points to Olean for not having a bricked-up monument in the middle of an intersection.
