The now-defunct F.A.O. Schwarz donated its hallmark statue, a three-ton bronze teddy bear, as a "gift to the children of Boston," and now the city is facing the daunting task of deciding where to put it. Some people say it should be shipped to the Rose Kennedy Greenway or a park built at the site of the old elevated Central Artery. Others think it works better at Boston Common, or the Public Garden, with Mrs. Mallard and her bronze ducklings. Where do you think it should go?

If there's a courtyard, it should go to the Children's Hospital. It should be placed somewhere where children can few it, but not be able to climb on it.

Leave it where it is (duh)

I believe if it is a "gift to the children of Boston" It should go to the children. I also believe in sharing and making children smile. So I a 30 year old mother of 2 healthy children ages 5 and 9 months think it should be in Childrens Hospital in Boston. So lets make smiles on all children buy sharing and put a smile on a sick child. Healthy children can be outside and look at the bronze duckings.

I think it should be placed in the Boston Common.

Leave it where it is.

I think at the Children's Hospital is a great idea. Also near the Children's Museum - as it is part of Boston's history.

I think that it should be placed in Fanueil Hall. It's a fun place. LOADED with tourists. Children and adults from everywhere can come and pay him a visit. It's near everything. It's Easy to get to. It would add to the beauty that is Fanueil Hall. You can change the letters from 'FAO" to FHM" for Fanueil Hall Marketplace. Just a thought.

Michael

Put in the Boston gardens with the ducklings
