New York's Fearless Girl statue to stay on till March 2018

BBC News:

The globally popular statue of a young girl staring down Wall Street's iconic bull will stay in place until next March, New York's mayor has said

Bill de Blasio said the relevant municipal agencies had backed the idea.

The bronze Fearless Girl statue was placed on 8 March to draw attention to gender inequality and the pay gap in the corporate world.

The statue - which has become an instant tourist draw - had been due to be removed on Sunday.

I haven't had a chance to get downtown to see her yet. She's fierce.

Changes March 2018 to permanently. It's such a great and beautifully done statement that fits in with the Wall St Bull and NYC so well.
