The coal constructed obelisk is in front of a defunct steel arch bridge. Kind of cool. Kind of cheesy.
[Bryan Akers, 08/22/2020]In Harlan County KY at a three-way highway intersection in the center of Baxter KY. Looks like the Washington Monument but made of stacked and mortared huge blocks of shiny coal. About 40 feet tall.
