It does seem that American Gothic is misplaced in this setting. I wonder what their mindset was when they decided to have a gargantuan version right there!
I think by adding a suitcase, they're not misplaced?
The story behind the painting is interesting.. American Gothic
No, Blondie, I meant the Trump Tower in Chicago. He built this enormous hotel/condo combo right next to the Chicago River. You'll see it in one of my upcoming photos -- as soon as I can figure out how to adjust the perspective in PSE.

Here's a statue near the entrance to Navy Pier. I like how the base is tilted like a ship would be in rough waters.
Here's a statue of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton who put Puerto Vallarta on the map when they made the movie "Night of the Iguana" in the area. The statue sits at the entrance to a restaurant called La Fuente del Puente.
BereniceUK, I really like the angel next to the tombstone!
