"Never knew it was there! Nothing much to say really except it is indeed the tallest filing cabinet. There is a business onsight so expect cars to be parked around and they will be in your view if you take pictures. Does the ruin the picture but nonetheless, cool landmark."

"I waited YEARS to come visit this national monument. I spent my childs college funds on this trip and I don’t regret any of it. After taking 7 flights and 5 days of driving I have arrived at this masterpiece. I took my last turn, and then I saw it. Just standing there. And the best part? I got it all to myself. I don’t know why I was alone, who wouldn’t want to go see this work of art? 10/10 5 stars I WILL be visiting again."

"Ah yes, behold the majestic rusty Jenga tower of stickers. Nothing screams ‘tourist destination’ quite like a giant corroded metal obelisk slowly disintegrating into modern art. Honestly, I’m impressed it hasn’t toppled over yet. It must be held together by decades of duct tape, chewing gum, and misplaced pride. On the bright side, you can add your $3 sticker to the collection of 10,000 others no one will ever notice. A true cultural landmark."
