An appeal to the city of San Clemente to memorialize the late actor Paul Walker continues. Two speakers asked the City Council on Tuesday, Aug. 15 to create a Mount Rushmore-style image of the actor on a coastal bluff.

In March, a video of two Paul Walker fans calling themselves “freelance journalists” went viral after the City Council rejected their request for a 12-foot statue of Walker on the pier. On July 18 Councilman Tim Brown donated a 1-foot-tall statue of Walker to the city to atone for the rejection, which Brown suggested had an eerie connection with a coincidental influx of shark sightings and beach closures in town.

On Aug. 15, Kroeger and a cohort, J.T. Parr, replied that one foot isn’t enough. They presented mock-ups of a pier statue, a Walker image on a bluff and images of Walker and council members on a bluff. This time, there were gasps and laughter by council members, but no rejection.

“One of the Dakotas has Mount Rushmore … we could have Mount Paul Walker,” Parr said.
