Religious Lawn Ornaments

Not really sure where I'm going with this essay.

Shortly after starting it however, I wondered how long it would take to find a Buddha. Not long at all as it turns out. Mr Buddha on your right is located on Rt 40, just north of Troy, NY. It's a road that I've traveled hundreds of times. He's probably been there for years. Never noticed him until I started this essay.

A road trip is in the works to the Ironbound neighborhood of Newark, NJ. Many homes there have religious icons not only on their lawns, but embedded into their front walls.
