Cleveland's downtown loves its statues. They show the city as it wishes to be seen.

Lawmakers standing rather uneasily over the county courthouse.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. I asked the person inside at the
Information desk why the left statue appears to be holding a severed hand
-- of a thief, perhaps? He found a tourbook that said it was the "rod of
responsibility." He'd walked in and out of the building for years and
never noticed the statue's upheld hand.
The Soldiers and Sailors Monument.
Statues by the same sculptor who later did the Lincoln Memorial in
Washington DC.
The library.
