I have always enjoyed going to see Marshal Fredericks' Cross in the Woods.
But is this the concept drawing of the cross? It looks more like the "highest" cross than the Largest cross.

Great idea. But let him erect it in Dearborn Michigan, which has the largest population of Muslims outside the Middle East.

My favorite is that statue in Rio de Janeiro. Awesome.

I saw this story headline and was amazed that it wasn't being proposed for part of a memorial at the World Trade Center. Now that would make sense.
To: Notwithstanding
Article includes a survey on whether the crucifix should be built (bottom right).

If they are denied a permit maybe they can build it across from me. I live in the woods and don't have any view. At least I'd have something to look at.
To: Catie
