Things to see in my town if you visit
The Fremont Troll(Seattle, WA)
Located under the Aurora bridge in the Fremont area of Seattle, the troll is a giant sculpture clutching a VW Beetle (it's a real car.) Not usually listed as one of the tourist attractions in my fair city, the troll is a local favorite and one of the coolest pieces of public art I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. |
That's ridiculously cool, Flayed! Also, incidentally, I had seen a picture of that sculpture a while back but had NO idea where it was from. Thanks for posting it.

This attraction is about an hour away from where I live, in Gloucester, MA.
Hammond Castle
Background: Tycoon John Hays Hammond, Jr. built this medieval-style castle between the years 1926 and 1929 to serve both as his home and as a backdrop for his collection of Roman, medieval, and Renaissance artifacts.
You Europeans may yawn and poo poo at this architecture, but keep in mind that castles aren't all that common in America and the fact that this one is only 80 years old makes it eccentric and really neat.
It's gorgeous, cool, and during Halloween they put on a fantastic haunted castle.
