Inscription. Inspired by the park's many resident crows, this clever corvid reminds us that a drive-in restaurant once stood at this site. Intended as a whimsical landmark for Auburn's beloved Les Gove Park, this sculpture is meant to capture the attention of thousands that drive along Auburn Way South, and encourage public interaction and community engagement with the art and the park.

Erected 2019 by City of Auburn Arts Commission.
