I thought Selena was difficult to wake in the morning, but she’s got nothing on the J. Seward Johnson’s “Awakening” statue. This sleeping giant has been in the process of rising from its Hains Point earthen bed for 27 years and appears finally ready to get up, with a little help. The new DC Harbor project is going in at the end of the peninsula, so Awakening is being moved across the Potomac in Maryland.

Really? Is the Awakening statue moving? I haven’t seen it yet — what’s my deadline on getting down there?
I haven’t seen a timetable on when it will move. It’s not going far, it will anchor the new Prince George’s Harbor Town Center project thing that is being built just south of the Woodrow Wilson bridge.
Here is Selena displaying her deadly “Iron Eagle Claw” that learned from her Karate classes. Hmmm…I wonder where the inspiration came from??
That is the kewlest thang evar! haha. He looks more like he’s drowning in the ground then waking up.
I agree, Autumn, I can’t think when I have ever woken up with that look and those mannerisms.
