- Kansas City, Kansas - Sculpture of Iron
I am sorry that the last tipster was unable to find it, but there it sits, just waiting for the dapper giant who needs her/his clothing pressed. It sits in a cute triangle-shaped park at the corner of Central Avenue, 14th Street, and Wilson Boulevard.

While you are there, look across the street at the beautiful former fire station. Take special notice of the gargoyles in the upper corners.
[D.Admire, 02/16/2009]Although this is a themed chain restaurant, the exterior of the building sports a very well done fantasy archaeological site. It includes a giant T-Rex and a 125' long skeleton of an Argentinosaurus that frames the building's entrance. The interior has a lot to see as well.
While a bit overly commercial, it is still worth a visit to experience and makes a great photo opportunity.
