Perry's Fish House [gone]
South Burlington, VT
The Office [gone]
Hazlet, NJ
Perry's Fish House is still there but the crab is not. "Louie" was inflatable and was put on the roof during the annual crab festival in the late 1980s. In the early 1990s, local officials decided the crab violated the sign laws.

The Office had an inflatable lobster on its roof. He was removed during the winter. He was there in 2003 when this photo was taken. However, by 2008, the restaurant and lobster were gone.

Horseshoe Crab
Blanchester, OH (now Repton, AL)
This Horseshoe Crab, aka Crabby, is 28 feet wide and 68 feet long. It was originally commissioned for the Baltimore Maritime Museum in Baltimore, MD. The museum was never built and the sculpture was purchased by the Creation Museum in Hebron, KY. In 2006, the Crab was donated to the Freedom Worship Baptist Church in Blanchester which installed it in Hillsboro in a Biblical scripture garden. Around 2015, the Crab was moved to Old Days Vintage Campers in Hillsboro. By 2021, the Crab had been painted an olive green. In 2025, the statue was moved to Dinosaur Adventure Land in Repton, AL.
