"overbuilt"
I finally took the time to stop and shoot this.
I'd like to know the story of the statue, and who owns the white house too.

That's "Toll Road Jesus"...... said to be built by an appreciative man who made a bundle, presumably on selling his land.
Not sure where or how much, but there have been articles about his involvment in local publications in the past.

You're kidding. Not for the Lactose intollerant, I suspect. 
I watched that place being built, and ride out the hellacious wind storm we had around '98 or '99. It was my impression that it leaned appreciably
more to the south....more reclined... after the storm.
Anyway that place has a story as well.
There is/was a local TJ artist who built some kind of large public art display in a canyon of TJ, and received some notariety for his effort as "art."
He took his new celebrity status down the road and built the boob place, not as a restaurant, but as an art project.
That's all I remember.

It takes just a little practice... here again are a couple of methods for posting photos on Nomad:
There is some misunderstanding about how to post photos... There are two methods...
One is direct onto Nomad from your PC files, using the 'Browse' button under the normal posting box... In that case you can only post one photo per
post AND it MUST be UNDER 50 kb. is file size. Since this is smaller than most all photos you have on you PC, you need to make a duplicate file with
the photo size REDUCED to under 50 kb.
The BETTER way to show your photos is to hot link to them stored on another website... such as Photobucket.com. It is free (to a certain limit) and
has an automatic resizing service... In this case, Nomad requests photos to not exceed 800 pixels in width.
On Photobucket, to upload from your PC,
1) click the red button 'Upload now'.
2) In the next window you see, at the top of the big box, in small blue letters, click: Customize your upload options
3) In the pop up see these choices (and more to resize to):
100x75
160x120
320x240
640x480
800x600
1024x768 ...
>>Pick 640x480 for most photos... this is the selection refered to as 'Large'.
>>Pick 800x600 for maps or max. detail images max. size to fit on 15" screens.
4) Select photos (press Select Photos button) from your PC to resize and store on Photobucket. You can have multiple files to organize them.
Now, to put on Nomad!
1) Place your mouse arrow over the photo you want and get a small pop up with some codes for linking them to various media.
See the one called 'IMG code'? Click your mouse on it to copy it.
2) On the Nomad posting box, paste that code.
You can have text above or below the image link... have several images perhaps a dozen max... and then do a reply post to add more... so as to not
have too many on a single frame.
The photo url begins with http:// and ends with .jpg (usually) and the IMG code puts your photos url between the tags [img] and [/img]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your photo is already on a web site, you can click this icon located above where you type onto Nomad (not quick reply):
and just put in the image url, and the tags are automatically added on to show your photo here. (make sure the http:// isn't in the url twice)

The statue was constructed on the slab where the white house now sets.

We have always called him 'Buddy Jesus', taken from George Carlin in the movie Dogma. Just another friendly reminder I am back in Baja
