| − | Initially located in close proximity to each other in the downtown area, the Pelican statues were returned to the original sponsors or sold to the highest bidder after the program's end in 2005. Sadly, some were vandalized or stolen and will never be relocated. The map below is imported from a [http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=106183886709132694763.000451557f4d84d8137ce&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=30.436242,-87.252045&spn=0.336268,0.513611&z=11 Google Maps] project by [[User:RenegadeSith]].
