Oui, that’s a new one on me! Where exactly in Tysons is it located? I’d like to add it to my TyCo #PublicArtFinder route, FYI.

The public art sculptures are located in front of the the MicroStrategy building off Tower Crescent Drive.

Are you following ME? I also went past. There are two other soldiers at a house nearby, but only the backs are visible from the street.

Deteriorating mural on the side of the former August Aichhorn RTC at W 106th St and Manhattan Ave in Manhattan Valley. It makes me think it was painted by RTC residents.

I am indeed following [mention]bikesnick [/mention] … to the Crescent Tower plaza in Tysons Corner NoVA (home to MicroStrategy HQ) where he led me to these really cool sculptures for which neither of us can uncover any information about them. Anybody out there got any intel?

I saw those when I tried to reproduce your public art ride, but just figured you had not put them in pending a second ride … ‘but wait – there’s more!’ I don’t know anything about them. I do have a contact with Tysons Partnership though so I’ll ask when I next see that person if there’s a list somewhere with info about the art as well.

#PublicArtFinder today at Fairfax Corner. This mural is on the corner of Random Way and Palace Way on the Random Way side.

Please clarify the hashtag for strava #publicartfinder or #Publicartfinder or #PublicArtFinder. I understand it is case sEnsitIVe.

Thanks,

Carrots in Blagden Alley. There are so many different kinds!

Marvin Gaye mural at 7th and S St. He grew up in DC before later moving to Motown. This mural is also by Udofia who painted the wall on Ben’s Chili Bowl.

We’re not going to get enough warmth and sunshine for the trails (which are essential to this ride) to be safe. Cold we can handle – slick isn’t fun.

I’m leaning towards next weekend as the forecast looks much better – Feb 20 or 21. If you have a preference for which day, let me know!

Thank you everyone for staying flexible. The art will still be there when the conditions are safer to ride!

Re hashtag, I think that it’s a straight up #publicartfinder, all lower case, in the Strava ride title. But I just checked the FS2021 website and don’t see a leaderboard for it, or any other newly created pointless prize for 2021. Some of the 2020 carry overs have updated their description to reference 2021 though. So I need to do some more investigative work and get back to you on this. Thanks for asking.

From my understanding of previous posts, the hashtags are NOT case sensitive.
This link has the standings for #publicartfinder (with any case):

Bikesnick — how does one get to that spot if they don’t have the link? The drop down menu doesn’t list art? Thanks for the info about the case sensitivity. That’s a big help!
