  State College, Pennsylvania - Downtown Eugene Brown

  The sculpture is in the midst of a safe, busy college downtown. I ended up parking 3 to 4 blocks east on Pugh St. Paid parking meters but if you have the ParkMobile app you'll be okay. Not far from a Starbucks on the same street.

  [Vance Erwin, 12/03/2023]

  Brown, who is artist Gavin Gardner's grandfather, was the winning entry in a sculpture contest to convey "the changing nature of libraries." According to Gardner his grandpa embraced the digital world at age 94, which Gardner called "the welcoming of a new era." Gardner said that Brown, who is wearing headphones and reading from a tablet, depicts "fusion."

• Austin, Texas - Pancho Villa's Trigger Finger

  We saw the trigger finger of Pancho Villa in Austin at the Museum of the Weird on November 22, 2023, in the bed of cotton and tin metal frame as seen in the pawn shop in El Paso.

  [Mike, 11/27/2023]

  The Trigger Finger in Austin has been there since at least 2007, but the Trigger Finger in El Paso has been there for far longer. Perhaps the Austin finger is a loving tribute to the El Paso original -- or maybe Pancho Villa fired with both hands, providing posterity with two trigger fingers.

  Erie, Pennsylvania - World's Largest Pizza Cutter

  We created the World's Largest Pizza Cutter in Erie. The Wheel is five feet in diameter and made entirely of stainless steel at Gene Davis Sales and Service, and the handle is 8 feet in length and handcrafted in Erie at Schutte Woodworking. It is positioned as if cutting a pizza mural.

  Perhaps we can have a friendly rivalry with the people in Casey, Illinois.

  [Christina Vogel, 11/27/2023]

  Casey touts a "world's largest" pizza cutter of seemingly identical size. But yours seems to be an excellent candidate for adjustments and markings as a pizza cutter sun dial!
