On the SE corner of 6th and Douglas Streets in downtown Sioux City is a plaque of the Bill of Rights. 6th and Douglas is also known as Government Corner.
Government Corner
In downtown Sioux City at the intersection of 6th and Douglas Streets is Government Corner. It is so named because of the concentration of government buildings at the site.
On the NW corner is the Police and Fire Department Headquarters building. Located on the SW corner is the United States Federal Courthouse. The SE corner has a plaque of the Bill of Rights and a public parking lot. Just off of the parking lot is the main branch of the Sioux City Public Library. Across from the Bill of Rights plaque on the NE corner is Sioux City City Hall. Just north of city hall is the Woodbury County Courthouse.

Founding Father's at a sporting goods store.
Flanking the outside entrance of a sporting goods store in Sioux City, Iowa are 2 of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, they were also the first two Presidents of the United States, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Both are sitting on their own bench, George is to the left and Thomas is to the right of the entrance as a person approaches the building from the outside.
George is holding and looking at the first page of the U.S. Constitution and Thomas is holding and looking at the first page of the Bill of Rights. Next to each seated statue is a large plaque with facts about each founding father.
The sporting goods store in question is a chain store called Scheels. The Scheels store in Sioux City is one of the anchor stores at Southern Hills Mall. This blogger inquired with the employees of Scheels about the statues. They advised this blogger each of the Scheels stores has 2 different Founding Fathers or historical people of the United States at the outside entrance. This blogger looks forward to visiting the different Scheels stores within a 200 mile radius to see which historical figures are on display.
