And a boulevard. Very Happy

"PRISTINA, Kosovo � Thousands of ethnic Albanians braved low temperatures and a cold wind in Kosovo's capital Pristina to welcome former President Bill Clinton on Sunday as he attended the unveiling of an 11-foot (3.5-meter) statue of himself on a key boulevard that also bears his name."

Are there any more foreign capitals with statues/avenues of US presidents? Anyone know?

Not sure if it counts, but if I recall there's a shrine to JFK at Runnymede and I wouldn't be surprised if Berlin also had a statue somewhere.

"Kennedy" is all over Latin America's streets.

They should put that statue in Rwanda. So all the locals will have the opportunity to piss on it.

There already is a statute to the great Cigar.

On February 2, 1997, a life-size bronze statue of Cigar was unveiled at Florida's Gulfstream Park on "A Salute to Cigar Day."
