The Topiary Park in Columbus Ohio
a one a kind, unique interpretation of Georges Seurat’s post-impressionist painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Isle of La Grand Jatte, Topiary Park is — fairly specifically, and somewhat surprisingly — the only topiary representation of a painting in the world. The art installation was officially dedicated in 1992 and consists of 54 people, eight boats, three dogs, a monkey, and a cat, all in the form of topiary sculptures made of yew trees.

Are you sure this is on on the listopia Best Feminist Fiction? I looked at the book page and it says it's not listed on any listopia's, so I went to the list and checked the pages that cover 300 - 400 and didn't see it.

Hmmm. I checked it this morning, and it had actually moved from when I first chose it. It was just above Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit
I'll go look again.
I wonder if the list owner deleted it. When you read the book blurb, it's really not feminist in the least.
Found it! It's number 599 - the very last book listed on the 6th page. You're lucky. If it was number 600 and on the 7th page, it wouldn't count.✔️

This morning at 10:04 it is back at #398. I can't figure it out!
And yet the book blurb says that it's not on any listopia lists. Totally weird. Well, it worked out for you.

When its creator, Jim Reinders, began constructing Carhenge in a Nebraska field in the late ‘80s, he decided to copy the style and circular orientation of the original Stonehenge, which he'd visited and studied in England.

The Market Theater Gum Wall
3. Souvenir: ~ A Coin
The tradition began in the early ‘90s when patrons of the theater started leaving chewed gum on the wall and including little coins in it. Some of the gum is shaped like works of art, making for excellent photos. (It should probably go without saying, but as this is one of the least hygienic tourist attractions around, you probably shouldn't test out old gum you see on the wall...)
