Big Olive.

World's Largest Olive

Lindsay was once known as the "Olive Capital of the World." It was home to Consolidated Olive Growers Co-op, and before that an olive plant. A large olive sculpture stood at the Co-op, and was eventually moved to the Olive Tree Inn. After the Inn was sold, it became a Super 8 Motel.

The olive perseveres, accessible in the parking lot and always ready to garnish a giant's martini.
