Many Monroe locals believe it is an eyesore, while others feel it puts Monroe on the map. Probably the most sensible commentary appeared in a forum Monroe’s community website, “There have been so many deaths on that section of 1-75, perhaps when people see Jesus they will be more careful.” The statue is actually at the back of the Lawrence Bishop Music Theater, an amphitheater that belongs to the church. If you are riding up I-75 north, there is no way you can miss this thing.–Jim Willis |
