Mr. Bendo

American Giants: It turns out that South Dakota's Giant Mr. Bendo and Minnesota's Paul Bunyan are long lost brothers! Who knew?

In the same way that Pawnee loves the mini-horse Li'l Sebastian on 'Parks and Rec,' Sioux Falls has a weird passion for this giant fiberglass man.

You can tell a true Sioux Falls native by their love for the Mr. Bendo statue. I am not one, but I get the impulse.

No, he won't be holding his pipe (at least for now) but he'll still be keeping a watch over the city.
