It was 🤎 shaped and it was carved just like this, only it was much closer to the ground. It was also done in a way that it looked like the heart was being gently held.

The whole thing was maybe 8ft tall.

Honestly thinking about it now I took it's beauty for granted. To me it was just a normal feature of our town. Looking back it was an incredible feat of skill and an amazing work of art.

I honestly wish I had a picture.

I mean for better or for worse we “tune out” and normalize stuff through repeated exposure, I think it’s cool that you saw it enough for it to be a part of that process

If I were in your shoes I’d probably see this as bitter sweet because even though it’s gone you can now appreciate it once more

You should look up news stories about it getting hit. I bet photos exist of the accident, and before photos for reference
