Years ago I happened by a giant statue (well, considering the subject, maybe life-sized) of Paul Bunyan in San Jose. I didn't take a picture, and could never remember where it was. Yesterday I had an hour to kill after getting off CalTrain in SJ til the bus I was catching was going to show up, so I decided to walk over to a nearby used bookstore, and on the way, there was Paul--in front of a muffler shop appropriately named "Babe's". I'm pretty sure he was holding an axe last time, but some Sharks fan seems to have replaced it with a hockey stick.

There are some nice old houses in the neighborhood, too.
