Further down Erie and less prominently displayed is the Bill of Rights.
Religious establishment, or just that the Eagles had the idea of sponsoring their donation before the ACLU? Probably the latter.

Downtown Toledo pics
Today for my walk I made two laps around the Lucas County Courthouse and something struck me as odd. The Ten Commandments is displayed prominently from the corner of Adams and Erie. The monument is about 5 feet high and has a couple Stars of David and the all seeing eye, like on the dollar bill.

That might interest you it has some of the history of the markers that are downtown.
:-)
Thanks Lisa! I never saw that article. I'm interested in the process of how the monuments get donated, and accepted. If NSM or some pagan church wanted to donate their own monument, and could show how it is significant to our laws, would they be accepted? And who accepts them, county commissioners?
I think it would have to be thru the county commissioners especially to be included on that site. That is a really good question though, maybe if we could find out how some of the recent war memorials were approved we'd have some insight into that aspect of it.
