Aliianz Arena in Munich, Germany. There's also a replica made of Lego blocks. If I didn't get the Lego part right, two of our sons would have never spoken to me again.

(Ain't Google great?)

Buck, you are right so far, but with the special I didn't mean the Legoversion of the Arena, but the possibility to illuminate it in differnet colors..

Thanks, cara, that was a neat one. Katie’s the one who identified it. I just stood by and watched.
Keeping with the theme of buildings, here’s one to ponder.
This house was built during the years 1902-1905.
It’s located in the Northeast United States (near, but not in a place called New England, which is a group of six states…but I digress).
The man who built it created something that has affected the lives of each and every one of us.
Who built it and where is it?
Good luck.
Buck

The company this man created had a slogan. It was:

"You push the button, we do the rest."

What is unusual about this sculpture? Name of artist, please.

 

[phinz]

It's on the head of a pin, but that's all I can tell you. I don't know the artist.

Willard Wigan?

 

[Buck]

Sorry for the belated reply. Yup, you got it. Post away.

Speaking of belated, Katie E just asked me to find out if you still have the travelling apron. Well?

Buck

 

[Alix]

PHINZ!!!! Come post something cool for us!

Apron still here. I have gotten *slammed* with both of my jobs. I need to put a few recipes in the box and it will be ready to go. I have it scheduled in my Outlook to remind me. If I don't get it out tomorrow, I'll try and get it to the post office on Saturday. I'm sorry it's taken so long. It's been so far on the back burner that it's only been simmering. Seriously. It's been sitting in the kitchen on the cork bowl mocking me. I'm really sorry, guys.

Here's a pic. What skyline is this?
