World's Largest Catsup Bottle Revisited

I was out and about yesterday, so I decided to go check on the WLCB. It looks great for being 66 years old, doesn't it?

Sadly, the WLCB and property where it is located is for sale. I'm sure I'm not the only one who hopes that the eventual new owner will keep it as well preserved as it is now.

Big Ol' Shoe Postcard

Backside says:
Giant shoe made by boot makers for the children's ward of the London Hospital. During Christmas festivities, the shoe will be filled with toys. December 12, 1931.

Cross Postcard

This cross can't be missed when driving through Effingham, Illinois. It's HUGE!

Fun facts:
*198 ft.(61m) height
*113 ft. arm span
*848 yards of concrete in footing
*33+ tons of reinforced steel footing in foundation
*180+ tons of steel in structure
*official dedication in September 2001
*19 million estimated travelers pass by annually

This is a view of the cross from I-70, as seen through a dirty windshield. :)

Giant Justins

Another great, fun find in San Antonio, Texas! This cowboy boot sculpture is 40 feet in height (12 meters), and is a replica of ostrich skin Justin boots.

It was created by (would you believe it?!) Junk Yard Dog artist, Bob "Daddy-O" Wade in 1979.

It's located at North Star Mall, and is billed as "world's largest pair of cowboy boots".  Nothing says Texas better than a big ol' pair of cowboy boots, right??
