2008-08-23 We walked down Main Street, Greenville, SC, (my home town) locating and photographing the bronze mice.

As a senior project, Jimmy Ryan proposed the idea of placing the mice downtown for children to find. He raised the funding and commissioned Zan Wells, a local sculptor, to make the individual mice. A bronze sculpture of the book (Goodnight Moon, from where the mice idea arose) and mouse #1 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 and the Westin Poinsett Hotel. Each mouse is about 3 inches long -- about the size of a real mouse...

It was a lot of fun discovering where the mice were hidden (some in plain view - some not), and we got lots of looks from passers-by while we were prone on the sidewalk making our photographs.
