These three lions' heads are on a side of a building at
Marietta Walk, facing the railway tracks.
About a dozen years ago I went downtown Marietta on Sunday mornings and ran all over Marietta, including the side
streets, alleys, cemeteries, and so on.
When I first came across these three faces I thought were
unique. The next time I intentlually brought
my camera. and walla! There you have it.
After studying the pictures
I saw that their chins were lighter than the rest of their heads. Then, I realized they are rain spouts. They have an opening on top of their head,
which the rain lands in, rushes through, then out the mouth. It must be a gruesome sight, three lions'
heads looking at you vomiting clear liquid.
