And just where is this located, and when were the photos taken?

Oops...sorry! That was last week, up on the west side of Prairie Du Chien Wisconsin...just west of town and right next to the Mississippi River...if you ever get up that way just hop on south Main Street and you'll drive right by them....they've been there for a long time...In fact I just jumped on Google Earth to check out the street name and they're even pictured & bookmarked on there...
