I've seen the peach in Gaffney, S.C. from a little ways out before you get close to it, you'd kinda think it was a HUGE rendering of a great big Rear End..

The Flintstone House is a house in Hillsborough, California overlooking, and best seen from, Interstate 280. It was designed by architect William Nicholson and built in 1976 as an experiment in new building materials, in the form of a series of domes. It was constructed by spraying gunite onto steel rebar and wire mesh frames over inflated balloons. During its early existence it was off-white in color, but was repainted a deep orange in the mid 2000s.

1976 was just the start of this one, I remember it being built back then.

It got a few more color changes over the years but was always originally a white paint. In fact when it was new we called it the igloo, because that's what it looked like.

Surely sombody(s) called it an "ugloo".

"Whether you love clowns of have a healthy fear of them, the Clown Motel in Tonopah, Nevada is well worth visiting. Famed for both its terrifying sign and its clown-themed interior, this motel has an equally spooky neighbor: an abandoned graveyard."

Or, if in the Midwest, check out Carhenge in NE.

Lost in 2012- electrical fire.

There was a Star Lite theatre in my hometown of Tyler Texas as well. Saw a lot of movies with my folks as a kid. The first was The Blob!
Memories!
