I learn something new every day

I know about some of the touristy things in Wichita, Ks. It is my closest big city. This morning I learned it has a troll. Yep, a troll. If it had not appeared as a note on a google map, I would never would have learned of it. I was looking up The Keeper of the Plains, a very neat sculpture in Wichita, but the map also pinpointed The Wichita Troll. This is part of what I found online: Known as “The Wichita Troll” for lack of a proper name, this gruesome sculpture is a well-kept local secret. Visitors walking by it (or even over it) on the sidewalk during the day are likely to miss it entirely, but at night a sickly green light illuminates the seven-foot tall creature. With a large, grotesque head and spindly appendages clothed in cobbled together black fabric, the troll stares up out of the grate with a look of rage for being chained in his industrial jail. This is quoted from The Atlas Obscura I can imagine how startled I would be to look down and see that. How about you, have you discovered anything new lately?
