Worcester wares sells a magnet and other TB paraphernalia. I bet if there was enough demand they could find a vendor to make mini statues.

This angle looks like the dude is raping the turtle.

Doesn’t it look like that from every angle?

Yes it does. Never understood why they couldn’t just put him higher up on the shell

Its actual name is the Burnside Fountain and there's actually a sad story about the sculptor,who heard voices telling him to kill himself. On Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnside_Fountain#%22Turtle_Boy%22?wprov=sfla1

Dang dude that’s actually unfortunate and upsetting to hear

I've lived here 1 year and have never seen this statue so couldn't say.

Make a day of it. See for yourself.

Where is it?

Corner of Worcester common near the library

Many/most Worcester citizenry know this as the "turtle-lover" or something similar but less kind. 😊

Turtle fucker, do you need assistance?

I wonder how long it’ll be before it’s back to that familiar green patina color. Just seems strange the color it is now
