"It's definitely a sign post, mainly because it epitomizes the way people feel here," said Tony Motto, owner of SculpTours and author of 'The Woodlands Outdoor Sculptures.' "It's a place people come to relax to get away from the hustle and bustle."
Motto said "The Dreamer" was installed at the intersection in 1989, chosen by The Woodlands Development Company's selection committee to mark what was the farthest western boundary of The Woodlands.
"Panther Creek had just been incorporated, and they wanted something that showed that this is the outward boundary at the time," Motto said. "They definitely wanted it to be highly visible."
