I was in Seattle last month for the American Planning Association’s national conference, which is pretty much as exciting as it sounds.

On a urban-planning themed city tour, I got to see the Gas Works Park, which is on the location of a former (pay close attention here, because it starts to get complicated) gas works. It’s been a park since the mid-1970s, and is sort of famous for having kept part of the gas works structures in place.

Which I suppose means that the cyclops was somehow part of gas production.
