The Puddle Jumpers

Statue

The Puddle Jumpers ... Glenna Goodacre ... 1989


For those who don't know, the TransAm Pyramid is the 48 story pointy thing at the base of Columbus street in North Beach. By its side, it has a small Redwood Park, a typical walkthrough - fountain - sit down area for use by the tenants. If you happen to visit it, bring a lighter. All the business people who aren't supposed to smoke, but do, hide their habit here. You'd be surprised who approaches when you have the matches and they have the jones. Puddle Jumpers is placed out of sight of the street, with a nice set of comfortable benches around it. It's a little hideaway with the smell of young redwoods and flowers mixing with cooking smells from the lunch places close by.
