I would put the whole Capitol (minus the politicians) and not just the elevator.  It wasn't even installed until 20 years after completion, plus its not in its original state anymore.  The walls used to be entirely cage instead of just the upper part. Gave you more vertigo, I'm told.  It would be neat if the pendulum (similar to the one that was in Durland until a few years ago, but about 5 times as high) were still there, but it was removed shortly after WWII.

Being in the dome after dark is one of the coolest things most people in the state never get to see.

Manhattan is sorely underrepresented here.

1.  MHS C-Hall.  It's a freaking psychedelic odyssey up there, man. 

2. The turtle courtyard in the 9th grade center.

3. The 9th grade center, period.  It's like, HELLOOOOOOOO, WHAT DECADE IS IT?  HAVEN'T YOU HEARD OF AN INTERIOR DECORATOR?????????   :fiesta:

4. The tunnels at K-State.  I think that's what people were talking about with the tubes.  Got wasted and went there six different times in a week and a half, was on a real tunnel binge back then.

5. Those handicapped parking signs that used to spring out of the Union parking lot that, if pushed, swiveled 360 degrees.   :yikes:  Super awesome.

6.  Thomas Sign!

7.  Until last year, I would've said Panda Paradise*^ on Westport Road because they managed to successfully operate a restaurant without a single customer for nearly two decades, but I guess they wanted to get out of the Chinese Mafia Drug War, so they closed their doors.  To replace Panda Paradise on this list, I will say .................................. the Manhattan Public Library because that blue $0.25 pencil machine kicks ass.

Nah, when people say "Tubes" i'm pretty sure they mean the tubes out at Tuttle.  Now the tunnels, that's another thing.  There's a bunch of steam tunnels that run underneath the campus.  A buddy and I explored those a few times, he's got bunch of pics stashed somewhere that I haven't seen in years.  The freaky part of that is the section of tunnel that runs by Durland Hall, there's a little radioactivity sign for the cheesy little reactor they have there.  We ran right past that one!   :eek: :eek:  :cyclist:
