Joe's-Easter-Egg-Hunt-Riddle-#3

Every Easter the local newspaper runs a digital egg hunt. Ten eggs are digitally "hidden" around town and a clue is given daily to each egg's location. Small prizes are awarded after the hunt. Each year my sister and I visit the locations. It has been a WONDERFUL way to learn about and experience the interesting/historical sites in the city where we grew up. This is Riddle #3 from 20116.

Joe's Easter Egg Hunt Riddle #3
RIDDLE 3
Man perpetually in midstride
Looks toward Peace on the other side
He might seem more overpowering
If what's behind him weren't towering.
Lest someone tramp our egg and waste it,
We sprung his latch and then encased it.
ANSWER: James A. Rhodes Statue at State Office Tower
