30-Foot-Tall Eyeball
The giant eyeball is located in a walled off park area used for outdoor gatherings and receptions. The (unverified) story we were told is that an art collector and Joule Hotel owner wanted to build a parking garage on his vacant lot but was denied by the city, being told it would be an eyesore. He defiantly replied well, Ill show YOU an eyesore! And the rest is history.
Tip: it's lit at night and you can get a different perspective from the upper deck restaurant dining area next door.

The Eyeball still gazes in Dallas! Some street parking was available right in front of it, so we just pulled up and put our flashers on to get a few quick pictures. Sadly, it is still not accessible to the public; there were actually two guards at the entrance to the fence.

I saw this when it was being built in Wisconsin just outside of Sparta. I took pictures then. It was awesome.
[Daryl R Judish, 02/05/2020]The eyeball was in the F.A.S.T. Corp. "mold yard" from roughly 2010 to 2013.

Hard to see it now; went here a few years ago and it was easier.
