Capitol Build – Yep, that a big building alright. Lots of empty halls though. I kind of whish they would have had some museum trinkets around but I guess that’s OK since it really isn’t a museum.
The city hall here in Beaverton doubles as an art gallery. Some of it's good, some of it's... not to my tastes.

I think it's a great idea. The space would be unused, anyway.
Long horn statues – Looks like they took a clue from Chicago, or Chicago took a clue from them.
Probably the former. Chicago did their cows in '99, IIRC. Cincinnati did pigs in '00, and Toronto did moose in '01.
Glad you had a good trip!
