This Big Thing is recorded as still being here.
An 11-foot-tall, 21-foot-long fiberglass-and-steel bull statue weighing about 2,000 pounds stands in the parking lot of Fratellis Italian Steakhouse, 2000 Reynolda Road, Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The owners purchased it from the former Thrift-Way Meats butcher shop in December 2019 and installed it in front of the restaurant in 2020. It is a near-exact replica -- made by the same Sparta, Wisconsin manufacturer, Sculptured Advertising -- of the original 'Staley's Bull,' a giant mascot purchased by Staley's Charcoal Steak House (which opened at this same site in 1957); the original Staley's Bull survives separately, owned by a local collector.
