Frank Lloyd Wright

We caught the end of Ken Burns' documentary about Frank Lloyd Wright the other night and were inspired to visit some of his lesser known forays into restuarants.

Get Out Here. Now!

If you haven't quit your job to travel out to Colorado to see Bishop's Castle, what are you waiting for? Along with Dr. Evermore's Forevertron and The City Museum in St. Louis, this is one of the most awesome-tastic manmade things in the world. (I have never been to The Great Wall, so that doesn't count. And penicillin comes from mold.)

The photo here doesn't do it justice. It's much larger than it looks. It's much more rickety than it looks. It's much cooler than it looks.

Did I mention that James Bishop did this by himself?!?

Gateway To The West

How big is the Gateway Arch? So big that you can see it from the U-Stop gas station in Lincoln, Nebraska. I wonder what the pioneers thought when they gazed at its majesty.

Great Moments In West Virginia Architecture

It was a difficult choice, but we managed to sort through a wealth of leaning mobile homes, coal chutes, and Tudor's Biscuit World brick buildings before settling on the New River Gorge bridge as the #1 architectural site on today's journey.

It has been estimated that this bridge weighs over 100 pounds!
