    I went down the rabbit hole and that cool monument was finished in 1846. So it was relatively new and made by an unknown who wasn’t professionally trained and he died before it was inaugurated. Dang you have to wonder what kind of things he would have created if he had lived long enough.

    the street view is funny if you go up and down the street… who is that mystery man with the sun glasses following the google streetview machine?!

      I’ve walked past it so many times and never went up it, looks frankly terrifying at the top.
