Naw, if you wanted to go the tacky/stereotype route a much more tasteful gateway statue would be an outsized, neon replica of box of Rice-a-Roni straddling the Bay Bridge on Treasure Island.
Of course, it would have to be the Almond Fried Rice variety.
I'm going to be straight up honest. Go ahead and report me, but this is the truth and reporting me will just show that it's true.
You Bay Area posters act so smug and stuck up. You all are too blind to see the beauty in any other area that isn't San Francisco. If anyone posts anything that "threatens" your Bay Area status, you all get on some rampage proclaiming how amazing the Bay Area is. Like any other city, the Bay Area has it's share of problems. The bums are out of control pi*sing all over the streets and buildings, the mayor is a nut, parking is horrendous, crime is a pretty big problem as well. Another California city with a statue is not going to take away from San Francisco. SF will still be known for a high col, Alcatraz,Golden Gate, and the large gay community.As already mentioned, another city with a landmark will not take away from your city. So open your eyes and be open to other cities.
So...um, what's this thread about again?...

...I think the people in the Bay Area probably wouldn't want a statue to be frank.
Agreed, a statue of Frank should be in LA, maybe with Dean, Sammy and Joey like Mount Rushmore....

I voted for San Francisco just because I was there recently for the first time and really enjoyed it
But I think San Diego would also be a good choice because LA SF and Seattle all have famous landmarks. It would be cool if San Diego had one too. I should've voted San Diego
Oh, YES! It should be a seven hundred foot tall Chupacabra, depicted eating the last White Person (or the last "Cracker Baby", as recently stated by a prominent diversicrat).
And my modest proposal would be that the statue be erected in the shining city of Maywood, California. Maywood is a brilliant example of how wonderful things will be when the 'Anglos' are gone. Maywood is so efficient, now that it is +-100% white-free (weiss raus), that the city has been able to lay-off all it's workers! No police! No firemen! Who needs 'em, when there are no whities to cause trouble?
But back to the statue. At its base, should be the words recently uttered at a rally, by a leader of the Brown Berets, an Hispanic freedom group eager, I gather, to liberate Southern California, then all of North America. I may not be quoting her precisely, but this will do for the statue: "You are too White. You don't belong in America. Go back to Joorope! Go back to Yermany!"
Such inspiring words! I'm not even white, but her pep-talk made me want to buy us all one-way tickets... Seattle-to-Stockholm! Anyway, I think a giant Chupacabra is a perfect mascot and a clear inspiration for starting any remaining whites on that great trek back to Joorope! Basically, this will be a Statue of Libertyin reverse.
My second choice would be a giant pyramid, crowned with a statue of Xolotl.
