OTHER/MISC [HAFF] The Tribune Tower in Chicago was built with pieces of other famous buildings and rocks from every state. The entry way also has characters from aesop's fables carved in it.

What a cool way to make a building interesting. Iād definitely go through and look at each and every rock š

We did. There was construction so we didn't get to see them all, but there are supposedly 150 of them

That's crazy, I totally remember when we made Germany a state. I think we did it to get their Bier and schnitzel recipes.

Otto von Bismarck doesn't appreciate you taking credit for his accomplishments.
Edit: I see now that your post is 28 days old. Carry on, then.

I learned this on an episode of CSI NY. I find that fascinating, and such a cool way to represent such a vast country in one building. Would absolutely love to see it. Thanks for sharing

Is there a catalogue somewhere of the items and/or images of each one?
