Blessed are the Curious....

A giant chair? Well...I just have to see this!  Located in Richmond, IN, this very welcoming piece to "sit a spell" is just outside the door of Richmond Furniture Gallery. Unfortunately, you are not able to actually sit in it (boo), but it is very cool to see and you do walk under it to enter.  We heard that the Depot District, located in this area is a lovely place to walk through and has amazing town murals, but it was raining when we visited so I chose to jump out and grab this pic and save the rest for another time when we have nice weather.  If you are ever in the area, be sure to stop by 180 Fort Wayne Ave and have a look. It's FREE has a nice store to browse through as well  :)  Curiosity continues... ~~Dede~~

Has anything just really brought to light a tragedy that you were no where near (at least those my age weren't) but you could really feel the pain of those involved? The Muskingum County WWII/Memorial in Zanesville, OH did this to me. From the moment I walked up to it, though on the side of the courthouse in town where many cars travel by, I could hear nothing, but quiet.... This monument is an appreciative nod to 297 Muskingum County servicemen killed in WWII and the Korean War, represented by a pile of individually named helmets. The sculpture, including 3 soldier figures was sculpted by Alan Cottrill and installed in 2012. Each helmet is inscribed with the name of each fallen soldier. The 3 full size soldiers standing nearby represent very strong emotions. Believe me when I say, you can feel every emotion just by looking at this amazing monument.  The sculpture pieces take up a nice size piece of lawn which is so nice to be able to respectfully check out every inch of...

Who has always wanted to see Stonehenge, but just can't seem to hitch that ride to England just yet? Temporary fix...I bring you Vasehenge!  On our Summer Road Trip heading west, this was our first Roadside Attraction stop. Located in Zanesville, OH (the former pottery capital of the United States) sits 18 decorative vases (and 2 empty pedestals) in a circle measuring 6 ft tall each with a 60 ft diameter.  The "Clay City" was home of many prized pottery companies, including Weller Pottery. Weller employed 1,500 worker which makes it Zanesville's largest employer.  So, what is the story behind Vasehenge? Originally named "Vase in Place" (Vasehenge was a nickname created by locals) these vases were created by a group of artists during a community project in the mid-2,000's. 100 oversized vases were made and local artists put their brushes to the task of creating works of art for their city! Each vase stands taller than the average human an...
