You ever just drive by Johnny Kaw, and marvel at how absurdly ridiculous it looks? It may be the weirdest looking statue I've ever seen.

I'm just a sophomore now, but if you said a last name, I might recognize it. Off the top of my head, the name doesn't ring any bells.

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.

Hell, if were adding those guys, then I might add Disco Bob to my list.
