SARASOTA - It's back by popular demand. The giant statute of the sailor kissing a nurse started going back up on Sarasota's bayfront Tuesday.
It will be there through the end of March next year. The statue is made out of aluminum instead of the resin, like the one before. It will be able to withstand winds from a category 3 hurricane.
An anonymous donor came up with the money to bring it back to Sarasota. A private citizens group is now working to raise $700,000 to keep the statue here permanently.
