Oh the stories we could tell!

Often referred to as the "two Oscars", these two gentlemen statues actually represent the two Wildes' viz, Irish poet, playwright, and novelist Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) and  Estonian journalist, critic, and novelist, Eduard Vilde (1856-1933).  They were photographed one evening in October 2025, with their light hidden by a wayward traffic cone.
