At the center of the city's residential Ingleside Terraces neighborhood is a sundial with a 28-foot-long gnomon, and a worthy member of America's unnecessarily large objects club. The sundial is within the oval Urbano Drive, which follows the course of the former Ingleside Racetrack. For a refreshing contrast in size, the tiny jockey house at 280 Byxbee Street is nearby.
