“25 foot tall statue”
Erected in 1989, the Hobo Joe in Buckeye, Arizona, is one of the only remaining statues that once fronted a now-defunct restaurant chain called Hobo Joe's. When he was actively fronting restaurants, Hobo Joe was marketed as "World Traveler, Philosopher, and Connoisseur of Good Food". Forced to relocate in 2016, Hobo Joe went into seclusion for 4 years. He moved from 1015 Monroe Ave to his new home on 5th Street in the heart of Historic Downtown Buckeye, Arizona. Now living just South of Monroe Ave. The Buckeye Main Street Coalition lovingly restored Hobo Joe to his former glory as a gift to Downtown Buckeye to be enjoyed for generations to come.
Reviews
This guy has seen better days and could use a little maintenance, but he's a friendly looking sort and we enjoyed stopping by for photos. There were some cows behind him keeping him company as he looks a little lonely at the end of the dusty road.
The statue was a little tucked away a and the roads were not clearly marked but it wasn't too much of a hassle to find it.
A little hidden behind trees, but he is there!
Joe went down for a restoration and is proudly back on display
