So on the "taller than" sign you're talking about Peabody, what was the height requirement? 6 or 8 inches?
Yeah, I think I'm taller than that thing. ;)

Not exactly in a park but how many people coming to Great America from Wisconsin have seen the sign for the "Bong Recreational Area" ?-----------------

Highway 142 between Burlington and HWY 75. It used to be an Air Force base in WWII, but was never completed due to budget cuts. The runways are still somewhat there. Interesting that this site was once considered as a potential host for the EAA fly-in before it found Oshkosh as a permanent home (they also considered Burlington airport, but the farmers put up a fuss). It was named the Richard (Insert middle Initial here) Bong Recreation area. Bong was some kind of WWII fighter pilot hero type of guy. I used to know more... (Our high school teachers had to explain to us that the place was not actually named after drug paraphanelia (sp?)). :)
Funny, though.
