OHIO: MISC. GIANTS

Jacques Marblehead, OH

Jacques was an eye-catching giant for Jacques' Roast Beef in the 1960s-1970s. He was originally located in Marion, OH where he held a giant roast beef sandwich. In the 1980s, he held a pizza box when the owner and menu changed (and became known as "Big Pierre"), but now even his hands are missing. There is a BP gas station next to him now. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Jesus Monroe, OH

The 62' tall Jesus torso rises from behind a reflecting pool at the Solid Rock Church. The statue is made from fiberglass and styrofoam, over a metal frame. He was installed in 2003. The church refers to him as the "King of Kings" but locals have nicknamed him "Touchdown Jesus", "Drowning Jesus", "Butter Jesus", and "Big J". He is lit at night with spotlights below and quite visible from I-75. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. [left photo thanks George Feinthel]
