The Downtown Mice
The Following Information
Comes From greatergreenville.com
This was a
school project idea by a local high school student who wanted to do
something good for the community so that people would feel they are in a
special place that has character and individuality.
Based on the popular children’s book Goodnight Moon, a bronzed
sculpture of the book and one mouse are mounted on the fountain in front of
the Hyatt Regency hotel and the other eight mice are installed along a
nine-block stretch of Main Street between the Hyatt & the Westin Poinsett
hotels. The artist who created the work is Zan Wells.
Hints To Find The Mice
1. Where the
water springs above ground. Mr. Mickey is on his book. (Think fountain at a
downtown hotel)
2. Mrs. Minnie is within 75 ft of Mickey, keeping vehicles off the sidewalk
and keeping an eye on her old man. (Think across the street on a parking
barrier)
3. Mickey Jr. is too young to drink a.m. adult beverages, but he is trying
to sneak in anyway. (Think about a coffee shop)
4. With a northern view, Mickey and Minnie’s son, Mikey, watches the crowds
at Downtown Alive. (Think Piazza Bergamo)
5. At her high-tech
location, Miss Minney, Mikey’s twin sister, keeps an eye on the pedestrians.
From above and is the hardest to find. (Think of a large, high-tech business
on Main Street)
6. Hard to
see, little brother Mitch hangs out at the Rising Star. (Think artwork in
front of a bank) (currently being relocated due to construction - hint
will be added when re-installed)
7. Melissa, Mitch’s twin sister, keeps watch on patrons eating Chinese and
wraps. (Think Chinese restaurant and a Mexican wrap restaurant)
8. Minnie’s sister Mifflin stays on a wall at the newest high-rise by the
corner of the oldest bank. (If you can hear the wind chimes on Main Street
you are close)
9. Near a rain
spout at an Italian restaurant, Uncle Miles, Mifflin’s husband enjoys the
garden close by. |
